A beautiful, giftable box set featuring three original fairy tales by two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo, each illustrated by a different virtuoso artist—plus a bonus frameable full-color print.

Discover the wonder and magic of a land called Norendy in these three classically illustrated novellas. In The Puppets of Spelhorst, illustrated by Julie Morstad, five puppets seek their destiny after ending up in the home of two little girls determined to put on a play. In The Hotel Balzaar, illustrated by Júlia Sardà, a mysterious countess checks in to the hotel where a girl named Marta lives; the countess promises to tell seven stories that may uncover the secret of Marta’s father’s disappearance. And in Lost Evangeline, illustrated by Sophie Blackall, a tiny girl (as small as a mouse!) is separated from her father and must marshal all of her bravery and resourcefulness to find him again. Each story is perfect for savoring alone or for reading aloud and sharing with those you love. The box also includes a frameable full-color print featuring exclusive artwork of Evangeline from two-time Caldecott Medalist Sophie Blackall.
Kate DiCamillo is the author of THE TALE OF DESPEREAUX, which received the Newbery Medal; BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE, which received a Newbery Honor; and THE TIGER RISING, which was named a National Book Award Finalist. She says, "Mercy Watson had been in my head for a long time, but I couldn't figure out how to tell her story. One day, my friend Alison was going on and on and on about the many virtues of toast. As I listened to her, I could see Mercy nodding in emphatic agreement. Sometimes you don't truly understand a character until you know what she loves above all else." View titles by Kate DiCamillo
