Twilight Land

At the edge of the world of men lies a mysterious realm known as Twilight Land-a place where the heroes and villains of a thousand stories meet to share their secrets. Within the walls of an ancient inn, you will find Mother Goose and Aladdin, St. George and Cinderella, all gathered together to recount sixteen marvelous adventures that have never been told before.From the whimsical mishaps of "The Stool of Fortune" to the profound mysteries of "The Talisman of Solomon," these tales span the breadth of human experience. Howard Pyle breathes new life into the traditional fairy tale, populating his landscape with clever fiddlers, magical boots, and kings who must learn the true meaning of wisdom. Each story is a vibrant thread in a tapestry of imagination, designed to engage the heart and sharpen the mind through the timeless power of "once upon a time."Brimming with Pyle's own masterful, woodcut-style illustrations, this collection captures the enchanting atmosphere of a world balanced between day and night. It is a profound exploration of the virtues that define a hero-patience, wit, and kindness-inviting readers to step out of the "work-a-day world" and into a land of enduring wonder.Twilight Land is part of a complete collection of Howard Pyle's legendary works, now available in a matching set from Living Book Press.
