The Girl Who Spun Gold by Leo Dillon, Virginia Hamilton, Diane Dillon

3.0

This is a West African variant of the little man story, the most famous variant being Rumplestiltskin. I don’t like this fairy tale, but the Queen had more agency in this version, which I appreciated. The illustrations were so detailed and lush, but Lit’mahn was too creepy for me to fully appreciate.
