he immediately gets first prize and says "thank you" which is as close as he comes to lying in the whole book. But then he IMMEDIATELY bursts into tears & explains! This is the book I've been using to excuse my characters murdering each other & then saying they didn't.
@philmcandrew sounds like you want current folks but I always liked Sydney Sime. He's dead now though, pretty sure.
@naamloosfornow This one is from a book called 'The Miner's Pale Children' that I think is out of print but they put it an anthology called 'Fables' that is still great. For poetry 'The Essential WS Merwin' is really nice too.
drew some skull stuff last year & just made a folder for them.
it's so crazy that Lotte Reiniger made a feature-length film that looked like this 10 years before Disney made anything that long

that ghost table drawing led to this little story, again pretty old now, but it's actually an idea I had in third grade. I've been trying to expand it into a book but it's tough to expand without ruining it - it makes me kind of emotional just the way it is.
"Ghost Goes In The Door" (an oldie now but still a goodie imo)
got reminded of this old one just now - I think most of my affection for it still comes from the pun on "legend". Happy almost Halloween you guys.
