Treat for the Occassion 2

I L.O.V.E this book, The Spider and the Fly by Mary Howitt (the author/poet) and Tony DiTerlizzi (the illustrator). It was originally a poem written by Howitt and made into a book format by DiTerlizzi. The words are pure chilling with brilliance, and the illustrations are just mesmerizing and look like old screen caps from a 1920 movie. The story itself is haunting, in a nice way, and affirms the moral of being careful who you trust, and making sure not to fall for vain traps. 

I figured I'd share the video version that I found on the web. It's almost as good, simply because it literally is the book, but one must actually feel the pages between one's fingers, and read the story for themselves to really treasure this wonderful cautionary story.
