Description
Jack, the King of Ashes is another riotously funny Jack tale from Andy Jones and Darka Erdelji; it is as moving as it is hilarious.This time Jack, the “King of Ashes,” spends all his time hove off in the coal box, until one day he shakes off his ashes and sets out on an adventure that includes sneaky robbers, a “famous missing princess with reward attached,” an always-surprising canine sidekick, a royal wedding, a lovelorn rooster-puppet, a conniving ship?s captain, corpses, curses, kisses, a coat and a whole lot more!Steeped in Newfoundland folk tradition, Jack, the King of Ashes shows Jones at the top of his form. His quirky and delightful humour is unstoppable. Erdelji?s illustrations offer a wonderful, witty counterpoint to the story, enriching and embellishing it.
