A wilderness the locals call Wildwood.The bestselling trilogy from Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis consists of Wildwood, Under Wildwood, and Wildwood Imperium. 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. 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.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. It feels at once firmly steeped in the classics of children’s literature and completely fresh. With fun illustrations by Meloy's wife Carson Ellis, there are more Wildwood books to come, and though I hope they're pruned and tended a bit more closely, Meloy has taken his audience seriously. Now in paperback!Wildwood captivates readers with the wonder and thrill of a secret world within the landscape of a modern city.
