A monstrous ogre, feared by all, roams the countryside, leaving chaos in his wake. His insatiable hunger and merciless nature seem unstoppable until a wrong turn leads him to a gentle young woman.

Discover the surprising outcome of this unlikely encounter.
From the publisher
The author and the illustrator of THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH–together again!This is the story of a really rotten Ogre who is extraordinarily large, exceedingly ugly, unusually angry, constantly hungry, and absolutely merciless. He terrorizes the entire countryside and all the surrounding towns, wreaking havoc, sowing confusion, and dining happily on the hapless citizens. Nothing can stop him. But then he takes a wrong turn and encounters a kind and friendly young lady who does her best to help him–with a surprising result.
