There before him was a creative force as raw, strong, and straightforward as BTG was when trying to launch his eventual hit The Blue Day Book. Her name was Emma Magenta.Magenta is the author-illustrator of The Peril of Magnificent Love, the first of a series published by Night Butterfly, an imprint founded by BTG that debuts this year in Australia. The book introduces readers to the emotional world of a young girl who seeks love with a three-eared bunny and pursues a course to win him. Much to her chagrin, the girl discovers love's path is fraught with illusion and strewn with disappointment. Nevertheless, the young heroine overcomes her disillusions and finds new possibilities and strength in the lessons she's learned.Magenta illustrates her seemingly simple tale with naive red, black, and white drawings that are filled with detail and emotion. Her keen, mischievous eye delves deeply and honestly into remote corners of the human heart. This artistic skill and the quirky text befriend readers on every page. Magnificent Love's emotional adventure is an empowering experience for women of all ages. The book speaks to an even broader audience through its reflection of innocent dreams, sometimes-hard reality, and discerning hope for the future. 785599 1 10 2004 The Peril of Magnificent Love total:35|5:23|4:8|3:4|2:0|1:0| 35 159 48 9 5 1 false false Tue Jul 08 07:47:17 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 28 08:47:42 -0700 2008 3 0 true false Fri Sep 04 15:51:37 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 15:52:31 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Sep 07 09:45:05 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 09:45:05 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Nov 02 08:04:41 -0700 2007 Fri Nov 02 08:08:10 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Sun May 27 00:02:00 -0700 2007 Sun May 27 01:02:21 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Mon Jul 28 23:17:03 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 28 23:17:35 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Mon Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Tue Aug 14 08:03:00 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 14 08:03:06 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Mar 12 15:05:20 -0700 2008 Thu Jan 29 14:39:08 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Aug 05 10:48:58 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 05 10:51:02 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Wed Nov 25 19:25:16 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 25 19:25:16 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Wed Nov 25 14:34:24 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 25 14:34:30 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 07 08:31:06 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 08:31:06 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 27 09:51:51 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 09:51:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 19 11:55:09 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 11:55:09 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Aug 13 17:38:57 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 17:39:01 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jun 28 02:12:14 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 02:12:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 26 15:46:18 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 26 15:46:18 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Apr 22 09:51:38 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 09:51:38 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Mar 11 06:04:46 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 06:04:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Mar 10 03:12:14 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 10 03:12:16 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=799634
