William Joyce

Shelf Awareness had an ENTIRE issue devoted to William Joyce's new series, The Guardians of Childhood.
WHOA!  I say again, WHOA!   This looks splendid!


Joyce is a marvelous artist - marvelous!  In this series he jumps from what looks like a picture book about the Man in the Moon to a series of chapter books about the guardians - those mythical characters that inhabit the childhoods of most of us in the Western world - Santa, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman, the Easter Bunny.  Even Mother Goose is a Guardian.

 Click here to see a video that introduces the series.  This looks like fantasy that the whole family can enjoy.
