Description

The Marvels by Brian Selznick is a remarkable artistic achievement that weaves together two seemingly unrelated stories in spellbinding synergy. The illustrated story follows Billy Marvel, the lone survivor of a shipwreck, and charts the adventures of his family of actors over five generations. A prose story opens in 1990, following Joseph as he runs away from school to an estranged uncle's puzzling house in London, where he must piece together many mysteries. Filled with mystery, vibrant characters, surprise twists, and heart-rending beauty, The Marvels is a moving tribute to the power of storytelling. Featuring Brian Selznick's most arresting art to date, this stunning book is a gift to be treasured for a lifetime. Its unique blend of word and image will appeal to readers who appreciate theatre, history, and beautiful pencil artwork.
