This book is not for the faint of heart or weak in spirit. It's not for skeptics who don't
believe in fairy tales or the powerful forces of good. It's only for brave and intrepid souls
like you who will stare down evil in all its forms. Inspired by the critically acclaimed film
written and directed by Oscar ® winner Guillermo del Toro and reimagined by New York Times
bestselling author Cornelia Funke this haunting tale takes readers to a darkly magical and
war-torn world filled with richly drawn characters including trickster fauns murderous men
child-eating monsters courageous rebels and a long-lost princess hoping to be reunited with
her family. Perfect for fans of the movie and readers who are new to del Toro's visionary work
alike this atmospheric and absorbing novel is a portal to another universe where there is no
wall between the real and the imagined. A daring unforgettable collaboration between two
brilliant storytellers.
