Summary: The original was better
Comment: As a fan of the Galdone version of 1977, I found this retelling unappealing. It's far too wordy - the sparse text of the 1977 version is better suited to sustaining a spooky mood. The beast is too visible (the imagination makes better monsters). I suppose some people need a happy ending to everything, but I prefer to leave my listeners with an unsettled feeling. Before you purchase this version, seek out the earlier one and make an informed decision.
