About this book
Discover the wonder and magic of a land called Norendy in these three classically illustrated novellas. In The Puppets of Spelhorst,illustrated by Julie Morstad,five puppets seek their destiny after ending up in the home of two little girls determined to put on a play. In The Hotel Balzaar,illustrated by Júlia Sardà, a mysterious countess checks in to the hotel where a girl named Marta lives; the countess promises to tell seven stories that may uncover the secret of Marta’s father’s disappearance. And in Lost Evangeline,illustrated by Sophie Blackall, a tiny girl (as small as a mouse!) is separated from her father and must marshal all of her bravery and resourcefulness to find him again. Each story is perfect for savoring alone or for reading aloud and sharing with those you love. The box also includes a frameable full-color print featuring exclusive artwork of Evangeline from two-time Caldecott Medalist Sophie Blackall.
