Temple Lodge Publishing The Golden Key
Book SynopsisThere was a boy who used to sit in the twilight and listen to his great-aunt's stories. She told him that if he could reach the place where the end of the rainbow stands he would find there a golden key... "And what is the key for?" the boy would ask. "What is it the key of? What will it open?" "That nobody knows," his aunt would reply. "He has to find that out." Now all that his great-aunt told the boy about the golden key would have been nonsense, had it not been that their little house stood on the borders of Fairyland. For it is perfectly well known that out of Fairyland nobody ever can find where the rainbow stands... George MacDonald's classic tale, full of imagination and dreamlike images, tells of a girl and boy, Tangle and Mossy, who venture on a mysterious and magical journey. First, Tangle encounters three Old Men - of the Sea, of the Earth and of Fire - and gains in wisdom and beauty through her adventures. Then, together with Mossy who has the golden key, they travel to the rainbow to discover what awaits them there... This new edition of The Golden Key is exquisitely illustrated with paintings by Angela Lord, who also provides an informative Afterword.

Book SynopsisBecause on this night, there’s no time to waste—the night parade awaits."This sparkling, Miyazaki-hued story instantly whisked me back to childhood summers in Tokyo." —Kyo Maclear, author of The Big Bath House and Kumo“An unforgettable story.Trade Review"A magical ode to the In-Between—to the space between homes, between creaturely and human worlds, between what the heart can hold and what it misses. This sparkling, Miyazaki-hued story instantly whisked me back to childhood summers in Tokyo, to far-out fables and night festivals, reminding me: the supernatural is often the best doorway to the true." — Kyo Maclear, author of The Big Bath House and Kumo “Tokyo Night Parade will leave readers longing for the worlds we’ve known and curious about the worlds we've yet to discover. An unforgettable story combines with a gorgeously illustrated world, reminding readers that our most magical moments can exist in the here and now. A remarkable debut that delivers abundantly.” — Antwan Eady, author of Nigel and the Moon "Melodic and mesmerizing and thrilling yet tender, this book is a lush sensory and emotional experience." — Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow, critically-acclaimed children’s book author "A glorious night parade through the streets of Tokyo. Offering a glimpse of modern and traditional Japanese culture, this tale will charm a wide audience, including readers unfamiliar with and those enamored of its folklore, fiction, and manga." — School Library Journal (starred review) "Jubilant and poignant. Cinematic, atmospheric illustrations...look like the stills of an animated film. This deeply felt and nuanced story leaves much for child readers to ponder." — Shelf Awareness (starred review) "Eka’s questions about whether the yokai are good or wicked offer intriguing food for thought—like humans, the yokai contain multitudes. With its beautiful night palette, the artwork glows and brings the text and monsters to life. A beautiful tale of friendship and living in the moment." — Kirkus Reviews "In this yokai-studded reimagining of Japanese folklore, a child who has “come home to Tokyo” reunites with fantastical friends on her favorite evening—that of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. [A] visually appealing nighttime romp." — Publishers Weekly "An enchanting child’s-eye view of this night when the worlds of humans and demons overlap. In magnificent, flowing double-page spreads rendered in deep jewel tones, Tomigahara conjures a twilight setting both mistily dreamlike and glowingly joyous, perfectly in harmony with this tale’s buoyant celebration of the sweet space shared between two worlds." — Booklist

Astra Publishing House Hansel and Gretel: A TOON Graphic
Book Synopsis"Hansel and Gretel astonishes from start to finish . . ." -The New York Times Bestselling author Neil Gaiman and fine artist Lorenzo Mattotti join forces to create Hansel and Gretel, a stunning book that's at once as familiar as a dream and as evocative as a nightmare. Mattotti's sweeping ink illustrations capture the terror and longing found in the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale. Gaiman crafts an original text filled with his signature wit and pathos that is sure to become a favourite of readers everywhere, young and old.Trade ReviewTHREE STARRED REVIEWS!* "If this isn't the definitive edition of Hansel and Gretel, it's absolutely necessary . . . The swirling lines look as though they might start moving if seen at just the right moment. The pictures have inspired Gaiman to write some of his most beautiful sentences…The Grimm version is as frightening as a bedtime story gets, but this version will scare people in new ways, and some of those people may need to start drawing right away." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review* “Master storyteller Gaiman plumbs the dark depths of Hansel and Gretel... Italian illustrator Mattotti contributes elegant b&w ink spreads that alternate with spreads of text. His artistry flows from the movement of his brush and the play of light and shadow.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review* “Newbery Medal–winner Neil Gaiman retells Hansel and Gretel as a story of parents plotting a murder by neglect, with full-spread India ink compositions by Lorenzo Mattotti as dark and terrifying as his forest setting. ... Gaiman's text is a study in minimalism, yet he includes every salient detail... A perfectly frightful treat.”—Shelf Awareness, starred review“Mattotti masterfully and subtly uses negative space so each image isn’t immediately noticeable, like the most menacing game of hide-and-seek, and the abrupt oscillation between the clean, white pages of words and the silent, chilling dusky pictures is striking... Gaiman’s fans and lovers of visual storytelling will devour this eerie version of a classic.” —Booklist“There is no question that Gaiman is an incredibly gifted wordsmith, and his retelling harkens back to the Grimms’s original narrative. The most inspirational part of this book is Mattotti’s artwork. Pitch-black India ink is used to great effect, creating dark and terrifying landscapes that threaten to envelop the tiny figures of the children. An extensive note on the history of the tale’s origins is included as back matter.” —School Library Journal“I love Gaiman’s and Mattotti’s Hansel & Gretel. The writing is rich. ("They went so deep into the old forest that the sunlight was stained green by the leaves.") And the art is striking. I have never seen a more chill-inducing rendition of the witch's gingerbread cottage. I swear it looks like there's a skull atop it.” —Julie Danielson, Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast"Mattotti’s arresting and frightening illustrations fill each two-page spread with thick black brushstrokes, the children appearing as tiny, indistinct figures, often in the book’s corners or near the seam. This visual depiction of the evil surrounding them creates a mounting sense of dread, which prevails even after the children defeat the witch and return. Home, Gaiman and Mattotti suggest, is never really safe from the world outside." — Youth Services Book Review

Notably, Brown uses a lush fantasy backdrop to poignantly discuss real-world issues.” — ALA Booklist (starred review) “Revitalizing and exciting, Brown’s debut breathes life into ancient but still relevant folk stories.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “An action-packed tale of injustice, magic, and romance, this novel immerses readers in a thrilling world and narrative tantamount to that of Children of Blood and Bone.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A supernatural love story inspired by West African folklore and dripping in political commentary and modern parallels.” — BookPage (starred review) "This epic story is brimming with trickster spirits, rich culture, and an organically developing romance that make every twist and turn more interesting than the last….Brown’s novel will easily fit on shelves next to other great West African–inspired fantasies like Adeyemi’s Children of Blood and Bone and Ifueko’s Raybearer, and the ending makes it apparent that Malik and Karina’s story has (thankfully) only just begun." — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review) “Will leave readers wanting more.... This will appeal to those who love gentle male protagonists, strong female leads, and worlds filled with magic!” — School Library Journal “A rapturous love story with wickedly delicious magic and bloody stakes” — Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles series “A refreshing, immersive debut that should be on every fantasy lover’s shelf, A Song of Wraiths and Ruin introduces a dazzling new talent in Roseanne A.
