At last we learn what those fleeting images of movement are, the ones you often see out of the corner of an eye, but which quickly disappear when you turn to look! They are the New Creatures. With the aid of the magical Grumparar, we join the author on his journey to the creature’s homeland where he befalls adventure, mystery, and narrow escapes, as he seeks to learn more about the host of funny, warm, and frightening New Creatures. And—as if that isn’t enough—along the way we find answers to many of life’s imponderables: how sneakers get holes, where houseflies go in winter, and how mountains talk to one another, to name just a few. So, sit back, put your feet up, and prepare to be entertained!
Gregory Maguire, the author of Wicked, writes: “An impressive achievement, bravely independent and unique while at the same time reminiscent, in different parts of Lewis Carroll, C. S. Lewis, a bit of Tolkien (though Tolkien is rarely as light) and Norman Juster of Phantom Tollbooth fame. There is so much to admire—the impressive invention and the unrelentingly energetic application of so many areas of literary and aesthetic expertise—also the sheer design of the text, the variety and competence of the illustrations, the grandness of the conception.”
