"Look inside this world and find wonder." --KATE BERNHEIMER, editor
of My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me and author of The
Girl Who Wouldn't Brush Her Hair A book arrives by Owl, left under
an old fir tree in the snow. With it, a mysterious message: another
world's scientists have discovered the laws of the universe are
found in--fairy tales. Is it true? Snotty--the unlikely hero of
this tale--is a streetwise adolescent mastermind transported to a
mystical realm where the fate of the world rests on discovering who
he really is. As Snotty's perceptions of might and right are
upended, the scholarly footnotes point toward a deeper truth--that
in the endless fight against evil, the toughest warriors come from
the most despised group of all: the smallest, the poorest, the
funniest, the snottiest. A fantastic adventure story, smart
political allegory, and philosophical treatise, this is a book to
be savored by adults of all ages. The History of Arcadia series
tells the story of a world that was literally formed by a story, by
one person discovering and claiming who she really is ...and of the
subsequent events that led first to a deceptively happy world, then
to an inevitably tragic outcome, and finally to a slow rebuilding
of the world on foundations more deeply and thoughtfully laid. Each
book includes bonus Arcadian legends and fairy tales, and relates
how the manuscript crossed the barriers between Arcadia and our own
world to arrive at Exterminating Angel Press. The first two novels
in the series are Snotty Saves the Day and Lily the Silent. Tod
Davies lives with her husband and her two dogs at the foot of the
Rocky Mountains, in Boulder, Colorado and in the alpine valley of
Colestin, Oregon, where she discovered Snotty Saves the Day, the
first Arcadian manuscript. Illustrator Gary Zaboly is the author
and illustrator of The Barack Obama Coloring Book (Dover
Publications) and many books on American military and frontier
history. He lives with his wife Cora in Riverdale, New York,
overlooking the Hudson River.
