The acclaimed artist Brom brilliantly displays his multiple extraordinary talents in The Child Thiefa spellbinding re-imagining of the beloved Peter Pan story that carries readers through the perilous mist separating our world from the realm of Faerie. As Gregory Maguire did with his New York Times bestselling Wicked novels, Brom takes a classic childrens tale and turns it inside-out, painting a Neverland that, like Maguires Oz, is darker, richer, more complex than innocent world J.M. Barrie originally conceived. Aningeniously executedliterary feat, illustrated with Broms sumptuous artwork, The Child Thief is contemporary fantasy at its finestcasting Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, even Captain Hook and his crew in a breathtaking new light.
