Bog Myrtle by Sid Sharp is a wryly funny graphic novel folktale about two sisters — cheerful Beatrice and relentlessly grumpy Magnolia — who live in a drafty old house with a colon y of helpful spiders. When Beatrice is gifted magic yarn from a giant forest spider named Bog Myrtle, she sets about knitting the perfect warm sweater. But Magnolia sees an opportunity and quickly turns the house into a magic sweater factory, driving the exhausted spiders to strike. A deadpan modern fable about kindness, greed, and labor rights, rendered in lush, quirky illustrations with a colour palette that feels both eerie and charming. From the Eisner-nominated creator of The Wolf Suit — a New York Times and Quill & Quire Best Book of the Year. HardcoverAges 6 + Show more
