Illustrated by
Mary Newell DePalma.
Lonely little witch Ella is quietly spinning when, first some feet come through her door, then some legs, and so on until a scowling giant stands before her ready to...keep her company. Set in Scotland, this tale of loneliness features wonderfully bizarre mixed-media illustrations, as of the giant's two round, hairy knees perched atop some argyle socks.
