To save themselves and the lives of their friends, they must go under Wildwood.

Prue and her friend Curtis are thrown together again. Her mind is constantly returning to the verdant groves and sky-tall trees of Wildwood. Under Wildwood: Ever since Prue returned home from the Impassable Wilderness after rescuing her brother from the malevolent Dowager Governess, life has been pretty dull. And what begins as a rescue mission becomes something much greater as the two friends find themselves entwined in a struggle for the very freedom of this wilderness. Wildwood: Prue and her friend Curtis uncover a secret world in the midst of violent upheaval-a world full of warring creatures, peaceable mystics, and powerful figures with the darkest intentions. This collection brings together all three novels, each replete with illustrations, including a number of gorgeous, full-color plates.

For fans of the Chronicles of Narnia comes the Wildwood Chronicles, the New York Times bestselling fantasy adventure series by Colin Meloy, lead singer of the Decemberists, and Carson Ellis, acclaimed illustrator of The Mysterious Benedict Society.
