Death and the Ploughman's Wife is a ballad written and illustrated by the Victorian painter and engraver William Strang. It tells the strange story of a mother who tricks Death into sparing her child's life.
It is one of two ballads* in Lallans written by Strang in the 1890s, as part of the broader Arts and Crafts movement looking to native folk customs to revivify contemporary art. Prized for their etchings, their elegance and strange narrative have been unavailable owing to their being the domain of bibliophiles. The Flowerdew Press is making a modern, affordable, bibliophile edition of both of them in the hope of bringing Strang to a wider audience.

*the other is The Earth Fiend, featuring a less happy outcome to its tale, and it is also published by the Flowerdew Press.

Very soft blanket
This is the perfect summer blanket. It’s soft and cuddly but not bulky. My Grandson likes it so much I had to buy a second one for my home when he naps.

Beautiful Reproduction of Original Comics
Format: Hardcover
This third volume is just as beautifully done as the first two. High quality reproductions of stories from the remaining issues. With all three volumes you have entire run of Treehouse of Horror that look better than the comics themselves. Volume Three includes a gallery of cover art from the complete run. Highly recommended. Buy all three.
