Little Lit: Folklore & Fairy Tale Funnies #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis hardcover anthology from 2000 collects original comic adaptations of folklore and fairy tales, featuring contributions from a wide range of celebrated cartoonists and illustrators. Part of the Little Lit series edited by Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly, the volume presents classic stories reimagined in a variety of artistic styles, aimed at both younger readers and comic enthusiasts.
"Prince Rooster: A Hasidic Parable" is a quietly profound tale from David Mazzucchelli’s Little Lit, where a young fisherman’s kindness to a turtle leads him to the underwater realm of the Sea King. Drawn into a world where time flows differently, he falls in love with the king’s daughter and stays for three years—only to return to land and discover three centuries have passed. Mazzucchelli’s deeply personal storytelling and art are matched by Art Spiegelman’s striking cover, making this a standout in the series.
In "The Fisherman and the Sea Princess," a kind-hearted young fisherman earns an unexpected journey to the underwater realm of the Sea King after saving a turtle. There, he finds himself drawn to the Sea Princess, spending three years in her company before choosing to return to the surface—only to discover that three centuries have passed.
