With echoes of The Snow Queen, Frindleswylde is a magical wintry fable about a mysterious lantern-stealing boy and a quest that leads to an enchanted frozen kingdom, exquisitely told in words and pictures by Natalia and Lauren O’Hara.
Can you feel a tremble in the wind? The sun grows pale. The wild things hide. Frindleswylde is coming!
When the mysterious boy Frindleswylde enters Cora and Grandma's house in the woods, he steals the light from their lantern. Without it, Grandma will not be able to return home after work in the dark. Cora is determined to get the lantern back, but first she must follow Frindleswylde down a hole in the pond that leads to his magical frozen kingdom, where he sets her three Impossible Tasks.
Reminiscent of The Snow Queen, beautifully written and sumptuously illustrated, Frindleswylde is a classic in the making.
