Reviews"With their evocative gothic-style pencil drawings and color illustrations, rhyming riddles, supernatural lore, and well-drawn characters, these books read like old-fashioned ripping yarns." -- New York Times Book Review, "The books wallow in their dusty Olde Worlde charm: Faeries! Dumbwaiters! Attics! But then, reading has an old-fashioned charm too." -- Time magazine
Having just watched the film version of Spiderwick Chronicles i was curious about the book series though I did not require a new set so i bought these used. This five volume kids fantasy series is a fun easy illustrated read im enjoying the second book now. I.am happy with the purchase my used set arrived on time clean unmarked & solidly bound with gently worn corners i enjoy in well read childrens books. I do want to add that while most of my online purchases come well wrapped i was delightef that my cute little books were rapped together in oldvschool. brown craft paper tied with colored string. That extra touch was charming!
