The Marvels

In The Marvels, Selznick crafts another remarkable

artistic and bookmaking achievement that weaves together two

seemingly unrelated stories - one in words, the other in pictures

• with spellbinding synergy.

The illustrations take you by the hand, and they don’t let

go - The Guardian

The illustrated story begins in 1766 with Billy Marvel, the lone

survivor of a shipwreck, and charts the adventures of his family

of actors over five generations.

The prose story opens in 1990 and follows Joseph, who has run

away from school to an estranged uncle’s puzzling house in London,

where he, along with the reader, must piece together many mysteries.

Filled with mystery, vibrant characters, surprise twists, and

heart-rending beauty, and featuring Selznick’s most arresting art

to date, The Marvels is a moving tribute to the power of

story.

A stunning gift to be treasured for a lifetime.

Perfect for fans of theatre, history and beautiful pencil artwork
