Librariankjk recommends Duffy and the Devil




Duffy and the Devil by Harve Zemach

Summary: This is a Conrnish tale with elements of Rumplestilskins. A girl is asked to knit for a squire and cannot. A devil comes and says he can help her; if in 3 years she cannot gues his name, he will take her away. Someone tells her his name and disappears taking back everything he ever knitted.

The illustrations of the devil are fantastic. This may not be appropriate for a young child.
