About the Author:
Nick Bantock is the author of the non-fiction works The Artful Dodger and Urgent: Second Class as well as, among other books, his famed Griffin & Sabine saga. Born in England, Nick Bantock now makes his home in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Edoardo Ponti, the son of Carlo Ponti and Sophia Loren, is a screenwriter and film director of, most recently, Between Strangers.
From Booklist:
In Griffin and Sabine creator Bantock's latest mix of story and art, Ana, a spirited young woman with a passion for dance, awakens on the morning of her wedding with a sense of dread. She is betrothed to Marco, and the wedding will mean that Ana's people, the Capolan, will abandon their nomadic ways and settle in a lush valley. Both Ana and her grandfather believe doing so would be a mistake, and when a storm breaks out during the wedding, she decides to run away and seek Felix Bulerias, the famed dance instructor her grandfather believes can help her convince the Capolans that the wedding plans are a mistake. Ana journeys to the town of Sedona, where she meets four very different men: the seductive Boreos, the dreamy Zephyr, the wise Mr. Hamattan, and the heroic Sirocco. Ana is drawn to all four for different reasons, but she gradually discovers their motives for befriending her are suspect. With lush, rich writing and beautiful illustrations on each page, Bantock and coauthor Ponti weave a mythological tale. Kristine Huntley
