Inhaltsangabe

So what if 12-year-old Jack's great-great-great-great-great aunt has oddly youthful looks? (Probably cosmetic surgery.) Or a hat she never removes? (Fashion victim.) Or goes out into the creepy forest at midnight to play bingo? (Must be what people do in the country.) Who cares about that when her cottage doesn't even have Wi-Fi?! Forced to visit his distant relative with the unusual name of Gretel, Jack is about to find out that fairy tales aren't sparkly, cheesy love stories. They're dark. They have claws. They're a warning. And when you're the unwilling hero of your own fairy tale, you might be the one who's taught a nasty lesson.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

H. Easson grew up in England where she spent her childhood searching for the fairies at the bottom of the garden. She is a now a freelance writer and an English teacher, who lives in Hobbit-Land (aka New Zealand) with her husband. The Legend of Jack Riddle is her debut novel.

Davide was born in Cagliari, Italy in 1987, and now lives in Spain. Soon after earning his diploma at 'Foiso Fois' Arts High School in Cagliari, Sardinia, he took up a career as an advertising graphic designer. At the same time, he kept working on his skill on oil paintings, taking part in several art exhibitions. When he moved to Madrid, in 2008, he discovered children's book illustrations. Gloomy open spaces, dreamy in-between atmospheres, and a strong chromatic impression mixed with imaginary elements are the main features of his work. He is on a quest to conjure colorful and fantastic places where time stops to create the biggest emotions in the smallest people.
