Another gruesome tale I remember from my first school days, and I loved it. The art is grey, dowdy, ugly and scary, but it wonderfully fits with the nasty-yet-brilliant (not to mention tragic) themes. It also made me develop a love for books in the poetic verse, with rhymes which stick forever in your mind. And if there is any story you want to read to children to scare them off lying for life, pick this one. Because no one believes a liar, even when they are yelling "FIRE!!!!" from a clearly burning building in front of a busy Victorian street.
Final Score: 4/5
