Beautifully illustrated by renowned artist Eddie Campbell, this is a four-color edition of Neil Gaiman's award-winning novelette 'The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains,' a haunting story of family, the otherworld, and a search for hidden treasure. This gorgeous full-color illustrated book version was born of a unique collaboration between writer Neil Gaiman and artist Eddie Campbell. In August 2010, the story was performed in the concert hall of the Sydney Opera House to a sell-out crowd; Gaiman read his tale live as Campbell's magnificent artwork was presented, scene by scene, on large screens.

Winner of the 2009 Hugo Award for Best Novel! It takes a graveyard to raise a child. Nobody Owens, known as Bod, is a normal boy.

There are adventures in the graveyard for a boy - an ancient Indigo Man, a gateway to the abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible Sleer.

compiled by Stephen Briggs For more than two decades, Terry Pratchett has regalled readers with tales of Discworld - a flat world populated by ineffectual wizards and sharp-as-tacks witches, by tired policemen and devious dictators, by reformed thieves and vampires who have sworn to drink no blood. It is a world that is vastly different from our own - except when it isn't. Now, in The Wit and Wisdom of Discworld, various nuggets of Pratchett's witty commentary and sagacious observations have been compiled by Pratchett expert Stephen Briggs, a man who, they say, knows even more about Discworld than Pratchett himself.

by C.M. Butzer Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is familiar to all Amerians. But never has his most famous speech, his 271 indelible words, been presented in such a visual and accessible format. Graphic artist and Civil War aficionado C.M. Butzer deftly uses a detailed, comic-book style to depict the Battle of Gettysburg, the national movement to create a memorial there, and the quiet day in November 1863 when Lincoln delivered his galvanizing speech. Butzer uses only primary sources for the text, drawing from first-person letters and diaries, speeches, and Lincoln's own writing to illuminate this series of historical events. The address itself plays out on over eighteen pages, with every phrase given a visual interpretation that will resonate with young readers. (immagine) Categoria: Magazines

An inquisitive observer, thoughtful commentator, and assiduous craftsman, Neil Gaiman has long been celebrated for the sharp intellect and startling imagination that informs his bestselling fiction. In The View from the Cheap Seats, he brings together for the first time ever more than sixty pieces of his outstanding nonfiction. Analytical yet playful, erudite yet accessible, this cornucopia explores a broad range of interests and topics, including (but not limited to): authors past and present; music; storytelling; comics; bookshops; travel; fairy tales; America; inspiration; libraries; ghosts; and the title piece, at turns touching and self-deprecating, which recounts the author's experiences at the 2010 Academy Awards in Hollywood.
