Hilda is a certified classic. The show is also really high quality.

Hilda and the Time Worm is the only one I've seen (and bought for the kids). Will need to look for more.
I really like the animated series. Carries over really well!
10/10 highly recommend
Also has a great song that only pops up once during the show - My Name is Hilda
Oh wowsers, that's adorable.
I love these colours! They are so smooth…
Hilda is SO good.
Jeff Smith's Bone hits some similar notes but Hilda really is special.
Late reply alert!
I love and deeply respect Bone, but it also feels a bit over-scripted at times. I guess maybe because often, the plot tends to signal 'here's where it gets dramatic.' Or clownish, or serious, or narrative-driven. Also, the backstory feels a bit Tolkien-esque on the surface, but once delved in to? It seemed like there really wasn't much substance to it beyond 'this person or entity is plain evil, so that's why they did what they did.'
Compare that to Hilda, in which it feels to me like you never know what's coming around the corner, as well as (for example) the troll peoples and dwarfs are nuanced races that are impossible to tie down in to a collective take / narrative / philosophy. This makes them seem more real and unpredictable to me.
So... I thought Bone was sensational the first 1-2 read-throughs, but it had pretty much nothing for me the third time. Which TBF is probably a 'me' problem, because very few works have endless read-through potential like that. Even Tolkien didn't for me, in the end. Maybe Hilda won't either, my next read-through...
House spirits have a special place in my heart, but I don't see them used in stories much. I just read a very low quality scan online, and now I'll be buying a copy, it's great. Thanks for posting it!
