<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Breathing new life into Howitt's 175-year-old warning against those who use sweet words to hide their not-so-sweet intentions, DiTerlizzi draws inspiration from classic Hollywood movies for the dazzling silver-tinted illustrations in this monstrously entertaining picture book.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>'Will you walk into my parlor, '<br> said the Spider to the Fly... <br> is easily one of the most recognized and quoted first lines in all of English verse. But do you have any idea how the age-old tale of the Spider and the Fly ends? Join celebrated artist Tony DiTerlizzi as he -- drawing inspiration from one of his loves, the classic Hollywood horror movies of the 1920s and 1930s -- shines a cinematic spotlight on Mary Howitt's warning, written to her own children about those who use sweet words to hide their not-so-sweet intentions<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A gleefully sinister fable that spins its tale like a great old silent film. The kind one might only see in a haunted nickelodeon. I love the beautiful, dramatic, black-and-white illustrations.--Lane Smith illustrator of <i>The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs</i> and <i>The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales</i><br><br>The most charming spider you'll ever dine with!--Henry Selick director of <i>The Nightmare Before Christmas</i> and <i>James and the Giant Peach</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Mary Howitt</b> was born in Gloucestershire, England, in 1799. With her husband, William Howitt, she wrote more than 180 books, including the poem <i>The Spider and the Fly: An Apologue: A New Version of an Old Story</i>, which first appeared in <i>The New Year's Gift</i>. <p/>Tony DiTerlizzi is a #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author and illustrator who has been creating books for twenty years.
