the little old lady who was not afraid of anything by linda williams

I have read this book for the Children's Book Club and it was alright. She also succeeds superbly and emotively at exuding soft, rich, spooky darkness in fulfillment of a majestic, atmospheric ambiance. I laughed joyfully upon every page! If there appeared two shoes, she specified verbatim: “Get out of my way, you two shoes”! Megan’s art is a marvel: exquisitely detailed with hearthrugs, clothes flapping on a line, face expressions, and vibrantly bright environs. For adults, their effect is the funniest, most zany dialogue we have ever heard. I cannot adequately express how hilariously her utterances struck me! Likely, Linda’s easy words are built to teach vocabulary simultaneously.

These goofy items manage to be one-hundred percent startling, on a night walk that she has to finish but she is bravely determined to shoo them away. The impossibility of these items giving chase to the woman has a built-in terror but of course, readers know their worst won’t become too scary. Boots, a shirt, pants, and even a jack-o-lantern should not be floating after her. It is inanimate characters, as frightening in their aliveness as they are goofy in of themselves, that pop out to scare her.

This story is about a walk extending to nightfall. She has a contented life but knows her woods can be spooky, so she hastens to avoid traversing them by night. At first, one is tempted to attest Megan’s tremendously attractive illustrations to this book’s spark but Linda’s storytelling thrills me just as much.Ī nature woman like me, gathers herbs on foot at a distance from home. I am elated to have discovered it! It’s brevity does not diminish one iota of its layered, tickling impact.

Impressive and enthralling at numerous levels, Linda Williams & Megan Lloyd created “ The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid Of Anything” in 1986.
