Frindleswylde cover

Can you feel a tremble in the wind? The sun grows pale. The wild things hide. Frindleswylde is coming!

When the mysterious boy Frindleswylde enters Cora and Grandma's house in the woods, he steals the light from their lantern. Without it, Grandma will not be able to return home after work in the dark. Cora is determined to get the lantern back, but first she must follow Frindleswylde down a hole in the pond that leads to his magical frozen kingdom, where he sets her three Impossible Tasks. Reminiscent of The Snow Queen, beautifully written and sumptuously illustrated, Frindleswylde is a classic in the making.

Fresh and bright as new fallen snow. * Kiran Millwood Hargrave *
Frindleswylde is a frost-laced feast of a fairy tale, with all the ingredients of a classic. Lauren O’Hara’s illustrations are exquisite, and dance alongside her sister’s words. * Sophie Dahl *
A book of icy loveliness: full of grace and adventure * Katherine Rundell *
A hauntingly lovely snowy fable ... with a heart and soul of its own * Anna James *
Frindleswylde will add to the sum of enchantment in this world * Angela Barrett *
