Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: new. Chris Van Allsburg (illustrator). Calla Edition. 301pp. Quarto [27cm]; blue cloth covered boards with embossed cover label and silver color title on spine. The most enduring tales of fantasy are appreciated by readers of all ages, generation after generation. This trilogy of novellas by critically acclaimed author Mark Helprin will stand that test by time. The heroes of his imagined kingdom pit the power of their love and devotion against dark forces of greed and suppression. His themes resonate for readers of contemporary fantasy as well as for those who cherish classic legends and tales. This Calla Edition presents Helprin's novellas â" Swan Lake, A City in Winter, and The Veil of Snows â" in a single volume, as he had always intended. Award-winning illustrator Chris Van Allsburg's 42 full-color plates complement Helprin's prose with sensitively wrought, finely nuanced images â" sometimes grand, sometimes fanciful, always evocative. -- from publisher.
