Description

Bog Myrtle is a witty modern folktale that explores themes of capitalism, environmentalism, labor rights, and being a nice person. Two sisters, one stubbornly cheerful and one relentlessly grumpy, live in a drafty old house with a family of helpful spiders. When one sister is gifted magic yarn from a giant forest spider, she and the spiders set to work knitting up a perfectly warm sweater.

However, the other sister sees only the opportunity for profit, and quickly converts the old house into a magic sweater factory. The exhausted spiders are driven to strike, and the giant forest spider, Bog Myrtle, is not pleased. This graphic novel is a masterful blend of humor, subversion, and environmental commentary, featuring lushly painted illustrations.
