Description: Key Selling Points A riotously funny folktale adaptation with two strong and resourceful heroines, evil giants, a magic cat and more. This book is a celebration of storytelling, acceptance and blended families. Contains great positive female characters and an unremarked-upon same-sex conclusion; Jones quietly queers the folktale tradition. The author has previously written six folktale adaptions, many of which have won or been shortlisted for significant awards; most recently Peg Bearskin was named a co-recipient of the Aesop Award (American Folklore Society--Children's Division). The author received the Order of Canada for his contributions to Canadian culture. Back matter includes information about folkloric and literary sources of the story
