Have you ever heard the story of Peg Bearskin? Peg's big, ugly, and hairy, yes, but she's also smart enough and brave enough to outsmart a witch, help a king, and find husbands for her two beautiful sisters and for herself. Join Andy Jones as he walks us through this classic folktale from Placentia Bay and showing the all new illustrations in his newly released edition of the book.
