The Ancient Child in this story holds the key to a great truth - but how to find the Ancient Child? A labyrinthine journey begins, in which books are to play a vital part. As with his previous titles, Thompson's surreal, fantastic work aims to tease, tantalize, infuriate and entertain.

Review:
"The story of a missing book, a child who holds the secret of everlasting life and a library that comes to life at night . . . Children and adults will relish it" (Financial Times)
About the Author:
Colin Thompson is fast becoming a cult. His incredibly detailed pictures, packed with bizarre touches, worlds within worlds, and wondrous visual jokes, are addictive. Colin's book Ruby , an international hit, was linked to a contest with a real vintage automobile as the prize. His earlier titles include The Paper Bag Prince and Looking for Atlantis . After leaving art school, and subsequently, the London School of Film Technique, Colin worked for a time at the BBC before moving to the Outer Herbrides, where he began twenty years of self-employment in ceramics. Colin now works full time as an author and illustrator.
