Talons vs. Fangs
This week your librarian read chapters 35-38 of On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, and once again, my favorite passage featured Peet the Sock Man. If you’ve not already read this far in the book on your own, I’d encourage you to catch up before reading this excerpt. If you read it here first, […]

Designs from a Wingfeather reader
Sam, a young graphic designer, made these awesome images. I love that they look just a little crumply—like they were made on parchment. And the image from The Far Country is a great complement to the dream of Anniera. Thanks, Sam! This week: Madame Sidler will be reading chapters 35-38 of On the Edge of […]

A visit to Peet’s castle
This excerpt is a bit long, so let’s jump right in. Follow me, Patee-tee-teeee! Another rope ladder on the other side of the trunk led up to a trap door in the floor of the tree house through which Peet was already helping Leeli. The boys scrambled up and into Peet’s castle in the trees. […]

Drawings from two talented Smiths
Anne (then 7) and Josiah (then 5) created these wonderful drawings a few years ago. I love the quotes and the lizards and the sea dragon and the tree house, and look—the swords have scabbards. Excellent. Thanks, you two! (Anne and Josiah’s dad is the author of The Green Ember, by the way. It’s a great […]

The first sign of glory
This week, I (Madame Sidler) read chapters 23-30 of On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. Quite a lot happened in Glipwood this week—a treasure-hunt, a ghostly encounter, a portent, a kidnapping, a murder. This is also where we see the first hint of the glorious glory of my own favorite person in this […]

Invasion of England
All this week, Andrew and his good friend Eric Peters are roving about the UK as traveling bards, much like Armulyn traveling through Skree (except that they wear shoes). They spent today treasure-hunting in used book stores in Wales. (Did you know that Wales has a whole town dedicated to books? Oskar would be delighted!) There are five […]

Into the Manor
Happy Friday, readers! It is I, your librarian, with another excerpt for you. This passage includes lyrical creepiness, a haunting description of a haunted house, and one breathtakingly beautiful line, right at the end. I loved the part, too, where Janner and Tink struck out running through the high weeds. As I read I could feel the […]

Andrew sails the Dark Sea of Darkness
…except that the Dark Sea in this case is the Atlantic. Over which he shall fly, not sail. To the UK for a tour. But there will be dragons, probably. Except that one of the dragons might be Eric Peters. If you’re in the vicinity, Andrew and Eric would love to see you at one of the shows. Head […]

Ships and Sharks and other footnotes
Greetings once again from Madame Sidler! This week I read chapters 12-17 of On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, and while there were a great many scenes of action, suspense, humor, and love, I enjoyed the footnotes most of all. (Best of all? Festival? Now I’m getting ahead of myself; that’s from chapter 31.) Here […]

Update: A map, and two terrifying creatures
For the adventurers among us, we are pleased to announce the posting of a shiny full-color map of Aerwiar, and two new Creaturepedia entries. Have you longed to follow in the slightly-gobbled footsteps of Ollister B. Pembrick in his travels across Skree? Do you yearn to explore the vast iciness of the Ice Prairies, the formerly-green Woes […]
