First, I must tell you that I received this book through a Goodreads giveaway. I would never have gotten it on my own (an adult coloring book, not my cup of tea), but I would have missed out on a great new adventure. Both the story and the illustrations are wonderful, thanks to J. M. Frey and Jennifer Vendrig, and I now have to locate other stories by Ms. Frey.

The premise of this story - the devil, feeling old and learning of the lovely seamstress, decided he needed new clothes, but only if she would sew them for him. He sent an imp to offer her employment, promising to take care of her parents if she would come to him. Since the family was poor, she felt that she really had no choice, so she headed down to hell to update his wardrobe. I won't tell you the entire story, but I will highly recommend that you read it for yourself, and then look at some of the other reviews (the ones with the wonderfully colored pictures that the reviewers did all by themselves, talk about talented folks), and you will have an idea of how great this little coloring book really is.

I don't think I'll color any pictures, mostly because after seeing the above reviews I really am intimidated, but the pictures do beg to be colored, so I may just wait till the new family artist shows up and I can gift it to him/her.

Bottom line, even if you aren't artistic, you will love this book. Do read it!
