Evil thing: a tale of that De Vil woman. Serena Valentino. 2020.

You may think you know the tale: a happy young couple, two loyal dogs, a litter of fifteen perfectly spotted puppies and the woman determined to turn them into a perfectly spotted fur coat - so determined that she stole every Dalmatian puppy in London, bringing the total of dogs to exactly one hundred and one.

But who is that monster, that scene-stealer, that evil thing? Who is the woman behind it all? Before the car crash, before the dog napping, before furs became her only true love, there was another story. This is the story of Cruella De Vil - in her own words.

Even the cruellest villains have best friends, true loves and daring dreams. After all, nothing is as simple as black and white. This is a tale told by the ‘evil thing’ herself - this is a tale of friendship, love and loss, mothers and daughters…….and revenge.
