The Nixie of the Mill-Pond and Other European Stories cover

“Wait until the full moon rises, sit at the bank and play a beautiful tune. Then you will see what happens.”

Giant beanstalks, trickster cats, magic pipers, royal werewolves, marauding trolls, and wooden battle spoons? You may think you know where these are going but take another look; your favorite European folktales are refreshed, rebooted, and totally reimagined in this high-spirited and hilarious comics collection!

This third volume of the "Cautionary Fables and Fairytales" graphic novel series is a wildly unexpected romp through some of Europe’s most famous fables and lesser known favorites, spanning the realm from sly humor to dark fireside tales and everything in between. Featuring the work of CARLA SPEED McNEIL, MARY CAGLE, K.C. GREEN, KATIE SHANAHAN, and more!

“Succeeds as an introduction to both the sometimes brutal stories and the wide variety of comics styles.” — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
