Beyond the Deepwoods (The Edge Chronicles: 1): No.1

Product Information

As Twig fell, he was rescued by the Caterbird, who took him to the Stormchaser, where Tem Barkwater asked if Twig was ok. This is where one of the problems of building a story around pictures arises: you create brilliant set pieces, but sticking them all together into one story makes it rather patchwork-y.

This book follows a young one by the name of Twig, who has been raised by woodtrools since he was a babe.Twig runs for his life and ends up in the Edgelands on the outskirts of the Deepwoods, where he meets the Gloamglozer face to face. Galvenā varoņa unikālā izcelsme piedāvā lasītājam ceļot cauri daudzajiem šķēršļiem, kā caur savdabīgām puzlēm, ko radījuši autori. The creatures live an immense amount of time–up to four centuries –which means that they witness a lot more history of the Edge than other characters.

Warum ich trotzdem weitergelesen habe, liegt an der großen Kreativität, die dem Dunkelwald Leben eingehaucht hat und den fantastischen Illustrationen von Chris Riddell.

First of all I absolutely loved Chris Riddle´s illustrations through the whole novel, they were a great way to bring Paul Stewart good description of the creatures to life. Overall the narrative has a familiar shape, as the young lad Twig who's been raised by woodtrolls learns that his destiny lies elsewhere, and blunders off through the Deepwoods to find teeming horrors, unexpected friends, comic menaces, enslavement as a pet, his true parentage, and the nature of his feared nemesis the Gloamglozer. Scentwood, for instance, burned with a fragrance that sent those who breathed it drifting into a dream-filled sleep, while wood from the silvery-turquoise lullabee tree sang as the flames lapped at its bark — strange mournful songs, they were, and not at all to everyone’s taste. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.Spelda sent Twig along the Woodtroll path to the house of Cousin Snetterbark, but Twig strayed from the path and became lost in the Deepwoods. The world that Paul Stewart paints for us is simply magical, without leaning on all of the cliches of typical fantasy elements.

Autori - Kriss Ridels un Pols Stjuarts - grāmatā ir centušies parādīt, ka brīžiem var atkāpties no ikdienišķās un garlaicīgās grāmatu rakstīšanas, veidojot kādu radošu savu fantāziju un izdomu augli. This is one of those wild imagination books, the kind of magical fantasy world that doesn't come along too often, but it is so beautifully crafted that you simply cannot wait to explore more of the Edgeworld.The story is good and follows young Twig who does not really know who he is and sets out on a journey of discovery. The story moves along at a rate of knots and our hero, the endearing Twig, falls from frying pans into fires with alarming regularity.
