A picture book collaboration between two beloved favorites, Takemoto Novala and Takahashi Macoto. Love love love. I love every iteration of Novala's obsession with the うろこ concept, from the amazing 鱗姫 novel to this うろこひめ 絵本 and even おろち which is clearly related. GOD I developed a small obsession with Bathory after reading the novel for the first time. <3
I finally tracked down a copy of this just last year, after wanting it forever. Damned out of print books!
