ORT:TREE GREAT LEV 8 THE LAMBTON WORM

Long ago, a terrible beast roamed the land.  Can a brave knight defeat it to save his family and his village?  A scary, scaly legend from northern England.

This retelling of an old Northumberland folk tale follows the Lambton family and their misfortunes. When John goes fishing on a Sunday, everyone warns him it is a bad idea. He thinks that catching a worm is as far as his bad luck will go, but little does he know the disaster that will follow. As the worm grows to monstrous proportions the villagers are terrorized and live in fear of their lives, until at last John learns how he can rid them of the monster.Wonderfully depicted by Pierre Kleinhouse, this sorrowful tale is full of magic, monsters and misery.
