Raves for Godfather Death
★ “[A] prickly, haunting story…Throughout, gracefully stylized vignettes and elaborate borders in autumn hues by Sardà present a distinctive concoction of humor and anxiety. It echoes suspenseful, folkloric prose that grapples with truth and human frailty.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
★ “A lesser-known Brothers Grimm tale finds new life… Deft writing and entrancing art prove once more why the old stories are worth retelling.” —Kirkus, starred review
★ “[A] deliciously haunting story…Nicholls makes some fantastic alterations, and Sardà’s illustrations are masterful, adding further new details. Autumnal hues and highly detailed woodblock style vignettes and full-page spreads carry the story forward as much as the text. Sardà brilliantly evokes medieval illuminated manuscripts, nineteenth-century folklore, and a lush, immersive timelessness that echoes the inevitability of death… Readers will likely be both deeply moved by the fisherman’s original pure intentions and highly satisfied by his ultimate comeuppance.” —BCCB, starred review
“From the wonderfully measured text to the gorgeously retro images, this is a shivery treat.” —Parade.com
