Guardians of Magic cover

Bestselling author/illustrator Chris Riddell welcomes you into a magical world in Guardians of Magic, the first title in a stunning adventure series featuring the mysterious flying cloud horses.

Beloved author and illustrator Chris Riddell welcomes you to the magical world of Guardians of Magic and their mysterious, flying cloud horses – the first in a beautifully-illustrated adventure series.

Guardians of Magic is an exciting, magical adventure from the Costa Award-winning creator of Goth Girl and Ottoline, Chris Riddell. This fantastic quest is fully illustrated in black and white in Chris's trademark intricate style.

Meet the Guardians of Magic: Zam, Phoebe and Bathsheba, three children who don’t yet know how powerful they are . . .

In a place where fairy tales don’t behave, and magic brings danger, enemies of magic are working together to destroy it. Unless the three brave Guardians fight back and believe in the impossible, soon magic and the mysterious cloud horses will be gone . . .

The Cloud Horse Chronicles continue in Tiggy Thistle and the Lost Guardians.

Riddell delights in playing with fairy tales, and his imaginative characters and stories of the weak triumphing over the powerful will tickle young readers. * Literary Review *
