A somewhat revised version of a traditional English folktale from Northumberland, originally known as The Hedley Kow, and contained in Joseph Jacobs' 1904 collection, “More English Fairy Tales.“ I enjoyed the telling of the tale, and appreciated the vividly appealing artwork, particularly the depiction of the Brindlebeast in his monstrous form.
