About this Collection

This collection gathers Walt Kelly's charming and whimsical adaptations of classic fairy tales, originally published in comic book form. Featuring Kelly's signature art and storytelling style, it includes his takes on stories like 'Puss in Boots' and other beloved fables, showcasing his work outside of the Pogo series. IDW's edition presents these rare and delightful tales in a single volume for modern readers.

In "Thumbelisa," Walt Kelly's beloved folklore returns with a twist, as Rufus Redfox spins a tall tale about the Boogly Bird to explain his grape theft—only to find his own clever scam backfires in the most literal way. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and brought to life with Kelly’s signature art and George Kerr’s inks, this 2015 IDW tale blends whimsy and consequence in a story where a red fox’s pride leads to a permanent mark. The cover, also by Walt Kelly, captures the moment of mischief with his unmistakable style.

Rufus Redfox, proud of his striking red tail, finds himself in trouble after raiding Squire Beaver’s vineyard—only to spin a wild tale about the Boogly Bird to escape blame. When the squire laughs him off, Rufus takes matters into his own paws, crafting a fearsome Boogly Bird from tar and feathers to scare him into surrendering his treats. But when the ruse is uncovered, the consequences are more lasting than he expected—his tail tip burns, and a new mark is forever etched on his kind.
