And what begins as a rescue mission becomes something much greater as the two friends find themselves entwined in a struggle for the very freedom of this wilderness. In Wildwood, Prue and her friend Curtis uncover a secret world in the midst of violent upheaval-a world full of warring creatures, peaceable mystics, and powerful figures with the darkest intentions. The story is told from multiple points of view, and the book features more than eighty illustrations, including six full-color plates, making this an absolutely gorgeous object. It feels at once firmly steeped in the classics of children's literature and completely fresh. Wildwood captivates readers with the wonder and thrill of a secret world within the landscape of a modern city. Includes a 7" X 5 1/4" print signed by illustrator and a Wildwood Chronicles bookmark. Very mild shelf wear to covers, corners, and edges of decorative cloth over boards. Signed by author, Colin Meloy of The Decemberists, and illustrator, Carson Ellis, in ink to title page.
