The Marvels

Description

In The Marvels two seemingly unrelated
stories  woven together – one in words, the other in pictures-with spellbinding synergy.

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.
