Fee-fi-fo-fum, Be he alive, or be he dead I'll grind his bones to make my bread! These lines, uttered by a dreadful ogre who lives at the top of a magical beanstalk, are among the most deliciously chilling in English folklore. Anthea Bell has captured all the dangers and delights of this favorite tale in her spirited retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk based on the classic version by Joseph Jacobs. Children will be spellbound from the moment Jack sets out to market to sell his widowed mother's cow, only to trade it for a handful of beans -- beans that lead to a great adventure. And they will relish the drama and suspense of Jack's journey from rags to riches, illustrated with dark humor and eccentric charm by Aljoscha Blau.
