Of course!

Who’s Beatrice and Virgil?
Beatrice is a donkey and Virgil is a Howler Monkey.
It’s about a donkey and a monkey?
It’s about a writer, a taxidermist, a donkey and a monkey.
For real?
Yes.
What did you think of it?
It starts whimsical then it gets really dark near the end. After I read it, I was like, What?!!
I thought so.

Saw this in a crowded room and fell in love.
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of fairy tales. Especially those as beautifully illustrated as this one.
The lovely golden cover, the thick cream-colored pages and the enchanting illustrations by Edmund Dulac called out to me. Resistance was futile. Pretty soon the book was in my arms and there it stayed til we got home
