"'Will you walk into my parlour,' said the Spider to the Fly..." is
easily one of the most recognized and quoted first lines in all of
English verse. But do you have any idea how the age-old tale of the
Spider and the Fly ends? This enduring verse from Mary Howitt dates
back to the nineteenth century, but its warning - to beware the
wiles of flattery - remains today as relevant as ever. Now in its
tenth year, celebrated artist Tony DiTerlizzi, drawing inspiration
from his love of classic Hollywood horror movies of the 1920s and
1930s, shines a cinematic spotlight on Mary Howitt's warning,
written to her own children about those who use sweet words to hide
their not-so-sweet intentions. Featuring new jacket art this
special 10thanniversary edition of the quintessential cautionary
tale is a must have!
