Froud and Windling take us back to the forest of Sneezlewort, but this time they centre the story around the Winter Solstice (how fitting). An evil and ower hungry wizard has put a spell on the forest to stop winter simply because he dislikes the cold. Clearly he's a bit of a wask-a-doo, so Sneezlewort and company have to help stop him. Of course, Sneezlewort acts more as a facilitator for the story - since he's only a magicless root dweller - but he's a great and relatable focal point for the story. ( ) The Winter Child is exceptionally long for a picture book and for young readers it would have to be separated into several readings. It is an imaginative tale of a humble root faery named Sneezle who goes on an adventure and against all odds defeats his much larger and more powerful enemies. I’ve always had an attraction to faeires, witches, wizards, and goblins. I purchased this book several years ago and all of my children have enjoyed it. In the classroom I would use this book as an introduction to fantasy and fairytales. It’s a great underdog tale. I think it would also be a good way to start a creative short story writing lesson. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

From the creator's of A MIDSUMMER'S FAERY TALE comes a new volume which opens the magical window of enchantment once more with an extraordinary combination of story and art. All the denizens of the wood have gathered for the grand winter holiday...but this year something is strangely wrong. By now the forest should be blanketed with snow, but the air remains warm, the leaves have not fallen, and branches remain laden with autumn's fruit. Somehow, the cycle of nature has been halted, and even the faery king, Oberon, cannot fathom why winter has not arrived. By turns charming, menacing, and hilarious, THE WINTER CHILD follows Sneezle and Twig as they bravely ferret out the terrible truth behind Winter's absence and witness a dramatic duel of sorcerers in which the future of the faery kingdom hangs in the balance. In this marvellous collaboration between renowned doll maker Wendy Froud and award-winning writer Terri Windling, the entrancing story twists and turns its way through the magical beauty and ominous shadows of the faeries' world. Art-directed by Brian Froud, beloved creator of such classics as GOOD FAERIES/BAD FAERIES, the book's spectacular photographs capture Sneezle, Twig No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
