Can you feel a tremble in the wind? The sun grows pale. The wild things hide. Frindleswylde is coming! A beautiful gift picture book for Christmas.
🇬🇧 Description:
When the mysterious boy Frindleswylde enters Cora and Grandma's house in the woods, he steals the light from their lantern. Without it, Grandma will not be able to return home after work in the dark. Cora is determined to get the light back, but first she must follow Frindleswylde down a hole in the pond that leads to his magical frozen kingdom, where he sets her three Impossible Tasks. Reminiscent of The Snow Queen, beautifully written and sumptuously illustrated, Frindleswylde is a classic in the making.
Reviews:
' In the luminous fairytale…a capricious winter spirit steals the light from Grandma’s lamp, and Cora must go to his icy kingdom to retrieve it – but will Frindleswylde freeze her heart first? Filled with pastel sweetness and frosty aquamarine light, this has a flavour of Hans Christian Andersen. ' The Guardian
' A perfect read for a frosty winter evening, this beautifully illustrated, atmospheric story harks back to traditional fairy tales such as The Snow Queen… Imaginative, lyrical and haunting, this a wonderful battle of powers. ' The Daily Mail
'Frindleswylde is a frost-laced feast of a fairy tale, with all the ingredients of a classic. Lauren O’Hara’s illustrations are exquisite, and dance alongside her sister’s words.' Sophie Dahl
