First thus unpaginated, [32 pp.], Illustrations First printing of this later edition. Tomi Ungerer is a great illustrator and story teller and an all time favourite. We love his wicked and macabre sense of humour which seem to originate from a deeply engaged humanism and a huge heart: the ogre has an accident while hunting for little children. Zeralda takes care of him at her home. Her cooking is so extraordinary that he looses his appetite for children! They fall in love, marry, have plenty of children and, so it seems, live happily ever after. Shipping for this paperback may be less than standard charges on the website, depending on destination.
