Stunningly original,Fabulously illustrated,Packed with action and adventure. There is a touch of the Lewis Carrolls to its authors' enthusiastic and uninhibited inventiveness and to the illustrations,This series is so exceptional… I’d bet good money on it still being in print a century from now,Lists tour in September in Publicity Diary.,Paul Stewart has created a world which in many ways is not unlike our own...both fascinating and thought provoking...a story which cannot be set aside once it has begun.,If you haven't found the Edge Chronicles before now, come and leap in!
