About this Item

This is a pristine and unread copy of the rare uncorrected proof edition of the first two SPIDERWICK books, two books in one, issued to booksellers and reviewers in advance of the release of the two books in 2003. The art in book one of this double volume is preliminary sketch art substantially different from the finished book, and therefore a gem for fans of artist Tony DiTerlizzi, recently the subject of a major museum retrospective. Please see my attached photos.

About this title

Synopsis

The Grace children discover the faerie world is closer than you think in this repackage of the first book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Spiderwick Chronicles.

After finding a mysterious, handmade field guide in the attic of the ramshackle old mansion they’ve just moved into, Jared; his twin brother, Simon; and their older sister, Mallory, discover that there’s a magical and maybe dangerous world existing parallel to our own—the world of faerie.

The Grace children want to share their story, but the faeries will do everything possible to stop them...

In honor of the tenth anniversary of the #1 New York Times bestselling Spiderwick Chronicles series, which has more than 12 million copies in print worldwide, this edition of The Field Guide features a larger trim size and an original cover with all-new art from Tony DiTerlizzi.
