The Fate of Fausto
A painted fable by Oliver Jeffers
Philomel, 2019
Everything written and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers is worth reading. In the video for The Fate of Fausto below, Oliver Jeffers says, "We've got something pretty special I think."

If you're in the mood for a unique cautionary tale on the perils of hubris and conceit, this is your book!
