In The Marvels, Selznick crafts another remarkable artistic and
bookmaking achievement that weaves together two seemingly unrelated
stories - one in words, the other in pictures - with spellbinding
synergy. "The illustrations take you by the hand, and they don't
let go" - The Guardian The illustrated story begins in 1766 with
Billy Marvel, the lone survivor of a shipwreck, and charts the
adventures of his family of actors over five generations. The prose
story opens in 1990 and follows Joseph, who has run away from
school to an estranged uncle's puzzling house in London, where he,
along with the reader, must piece together many mysteries. Filled
with mystery, vibrant characters, surprise twists, and
heart-rending beauty, and featuring Selznick's most arresting art
to date, The Marvels is a moving tribute to the power of story. A
stunning gift to be treasured for a lifetime. Perfect for fans of
theatre, history and beautiful pencil artwork Brian's first book,
The Invention of Hugo Cabret, was the winner of the esteemed
Caldecott Medal, the first novel to do so, as the Caldecott Medal
is for picture books & made into a feature length film, HUGO,
directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Jude Law
