Wingfeather Tales: Seven Thrilling Stories from the World of Aerwiar

By Andrew Peterson, Douglas Kaine McKelvey, Jonathan Rogers, et al.

Book Overview

Return to the world of the Wingfeather Saga (more than one million copies sold ) with Andrew Peterson and his all-star author friends.

Immerse yourself in a land of bomnubbles and quarreling cousins, sea dragons and book publishers, thieves and Fangs and secret maps. Here within these pages lie seven stories of the distant past, lost adventures, forgotten songs, and heartbreaking histories. The Shining Isle is restored, but Aerwiar is vast--and these authors have tales yet to tell:

- Explore the inner walls of Yorsha Doon, just West of the Woes of Shreve, on the edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, from the eyes of young Safiki in "The Prince of Yorsha Doon" from the creator of Aewiar, Andrew Peterson.
- Jennifer Trafton's warm and whimsical writing brings to life a publishing nightmare populated by the many beasts of Skree in "The Wooing of Sophelia Stupe."
- Learn the origins of Ollister Pebmrick's mysterious entry in the Creaturepedia about his encounter with a raggant in "Willow Worlds" by N. D. Wilson.
- Travel with young Podo Helmer on an epic hunt for sea dragons in "From the Deeps of the Dragon King" from A. S. Peterson.
- Jonathan Rogers presents "The Ballard of Lanric and Rube," sung by Armulyn the Bard, tale-spinner of the imaginary Shining Isle of Anniera, in On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness.
- Discover what life was like for Maraly and Gammon in post-war Skree in "Shadowblade and the Florid Sword"--the first-ever Wingfeather comic--by Andrew Peterson.
- Douglas McKelvey's epic, heartbreakingly hopeful novella "The Places Beyond the Maps" recounts a father's journey to redemption.

You'll also find delightful illustrations by Justin Gerard, Hein Zaayman, Cory Godbey, John Hendrix, Nicholas Kole, Aedan Peterson, Joe Sutphin, Jay Myers, and Doug TenNapel.

Enter a rich, imaginative world that becomes more real, more mysterious, more dangerous, and more beautiful with each story's telling.

A Wonderful Addition to the world of Aerwiar

When I first learned of the Wingfeather Tales I was excited to hear more from the world of Aerwiar. However, I can also say there was some trepidation knowing that not all the stories would be written by Andrew Peterson (reading the Forward relieved most of my concern). Would this book contain the same whimsical, hope giving, truth tasting, thought provoking and overall engaging aspects of the Wingfeather Saga? The answer: Yes These tales contain unlikely heroes, unexpected friends, amusing romance, tragic love, glimpses into Podo Helmers troubled past, brotherly rivalry, a florid (sword) comic, heart-rending journeys, and redeemed lives. Not to mention toothy cows, snick buzzards and their belly buttons, the fendril, flabbits, thwaps, dragons and all manner of creature. Each author did a wonderful job at bringing the stories of Aerwiar to life. Any good and believable world, after all, must have tales to tell in many forms with various authors.

Deceptive description

Deceptive description!!!! Not much comics or illustrations! Really. Just a small comic at the back of the book. Not illustrated as they say. Very bad description.
