Product Description

Book Description

Young Twig lives in the Deepwoods, among the Woodtrolls, but he isn’t one of them. In a brave attempt to find out where he belongs, Twig wanders into the mysterious, dangerous world beyond the Deepwoods. He meets a collection of odd companions, such as his wise guardian, the Caterbird; the Slaughterers, a peaceful race who butcher animals for their livelihood; and the vicious, bile-swilling Rotsucker. Always watching out for the horrible Gloamglozer, whose presence haunts the thoughts of all the inhabitants of The Edge, Twig steadfastly pursues his quest until he discovers his roots, not among the trees, but in the skies. . . .

From the Hardcover edition.

PRAISE FOR THE EDGE CHRONICLES:

"Sure to please the Potter fans."
–Detroit Free Press

"The narrative will cast a spell over readers from the beginning with its utterly odd, off-kilter sense of logic and a vocabulary that is equal parts Dr. Seuss and Lewis Carroll."
–Publishers Weekly

"Good fun." –Kirkus Reviews

“Stunningly original.”—The Guardian (UK)

“A richly inventive fantasy . . . one of the most exciting collaborations between a writer and illustrator for a long time.”—The Literary Review (UK)

4.0 out of 5 stars Was great and made me hungry for more in the series!, April 24 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: The Edge Chronicles 1: Beyond the Deepwoods (Paperback)

I got this book for my last birthday and wasn't eager to read it. Bt once I got started I loved it! Soon I had read the next three in the series. So far I have read all but "Freeglader" and "Winter Knights". However I want to read them!

I recomend The Edge Chronicals to all intermediate phantasy loving readers!

4.0 out of 5 stars In the tolkien tradition( a 25 year old reader), Jul 28 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Edge Chronicles 1: Beyond the Deepwoods (Paperback)

I first read this book not knowing what to expect... I had already read a lot of fantasy and Science Fiction... and quite frankly I loved it... It is funny and witty beautifully written and illustrated I loved all of Riddell's books including a very funny parody of Lord of the Rings called "Muddle Earth"

I agree with the other critic it is not a book just for Kids. quite Frankly, I enjoy a lot of books which are considered for children and that does not bother me in the slightest!!!Some of them are even more interesting than adult books I read... Ok I am young at heart...I don't mind... This is a great series of books and I often read them... starting from this one making the journey again... I recommend these books to anybody who likes fantastic worlds...

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for kids, Jul 19 2002

By	"rawaan" (Dubai, United Arab Emirates) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Edge Chronicles 1: Beyond the Deepwoods (Paperback)

I can't believe anyone else hasn't reviewed these books. I picked up Beyond the Deepwoods as a birthday present for my 12 year old brother, but then flicked through it, decided I wanted it, and read it in one night. The writing is wonderful - elegantly creepy and terribly evocative. Chris Riddell's illustrations are amongst the best I've seen, whether in black and white or in colour. I cannot rave enough about this book or the next two that I've read in the Edge Chronicles. Am on the edge of my seat waiting for The Curse of the Gloamglozer to come out.

I tend to enjoy childrens' books almost as much (often more) as adults', and these books have pride of place on my favorite bookshelf. Go read them now!
