"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Superficially, the Spiderwick Chronicles smack of Lemony Snicket, with its "true story" setup and breathless warnings ("Go away/close the book/put it down/do not look"). But Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black owe no one for the intensely absorbing world they've created. Black certainly showed fey promise in her slightly freaky debut and DiTerlizzi has weird cred to spare, from his zany Jimmy Zangwow to countless credits for the Magic: The Gathering card game.
By combining their ample skill with thoughtful art direction and demanding production values, the duo has succeeded in creating a series with irresistible appeal. Each book promises a quick read, snappy plot progression, and dozens of DiTerlizzi's imaginative pen-and-ink drawings. So if you're drawn to The Field Guide at all, you might as well save yourself the trouble and make sure you have the second book (The Seeing Stone handy. (Ages 6 to 10) --Paul Hughes

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. This is a pristine and unread copy of the rare uncorrected proof edition of the first two SPIDERWICK books, two books in one, issued to booksellers and reviewers in advance of the release of the two books in 2003. The art in book one of this double volume is preliminary sketch art substantially different from the finished book, and therefore a gem for fans of artist Tony DiTerlizzi, recently the subject of a major museum retrospective. Please see my attached photos. Seller Inventory # GWBCB100
