The originator of the series was as darkly pleasant as expected. And I think it has my favorite rendition of Little Miss Muffett ever.

I do love Gris Grimley's art, and his Gris Grimley's Wicked Nursery Rhymes is no exception. Here, Grimley takes familiar nursery rhymes such as "Little Miss Muffet" and "Jack Be Nimble" and turns them upside down, giving them a decidedly darker and twisted flavor. His accompanying illustrations are just as deliciously dark and twisted. These are definitely not your childhood nursery rhymes, but are perfect for anyone who enjoys things just a little bit macabre. ( )

This book contains poems from the past such as Jack Sprat, Humpty Dumpty, and the Three Blind Mice. The tone is dark and the illustrations are also detailed yet dark. The pictures are in the style of Tim Burton and they give a fresh new take on old traditional poems.
