The Scholarly Banana Presents Fitcher's Bird: A Classic Fairy Tale from the Brothers Grimm

by Karly West

Overview

Murderous wizard. Forbidden door. Final girl.

This action-packed Grimm tale is delightfully bizarre. I'm not sure if this tale is supposed to be funny...but it is.

The Scholarly Banana is a sculptural graphic novel series for teens and adults that retells old, gruesome fairy tales and tricks you into learning fun facts about them! Think creepy fairy tales meets Cliffs-Notes meets Adult Swim Claymation...meets a Banana! He's a Scholarly Banana, though. You can tell by his glasses.
