      Сборник "Зеленый рыцарь" удостоен награды World Fantasy Award (2003) как лучшая антология. Мы попросили авторов отправиться в Зачарованный лес и вернуться оттуда с историями об этих диких землях и существах, их населяющих. Вы встретите здесь ведьм, волков, дриад, людей-оленей, парочку фей и бесчисленное множество духов природы (включая даже дружелюбного зеленого великана). Таинственная извилистая тропинка ведет в волшебные земли через леса, пустыни, горы, города и трущобы. Над головами шепчутся кроны дубов и ясеней, а из теней наблюдают за каждым шагом зеленые существа.

      National Bestseller and selected as one of NPR’s Top 100 Science Fiction and Fantasy Books of All Time, this dark classic of modern fantasy is beautifully illustrated for the first time by award-winning artist Chris Riddell. Featuring the author’s preferred text and the Neverwhere tale, “How the Marquis Got His Coat Back,” this edition brings Neil Gaiman’s first novel, originally published in 1997, to life with striking black-and-white line art. Richard Mayhew, a kind-hearted young London businessman, finds his life irrevocably changed when he helps a bleeding girl, leading him into a hidden world beneath London. This realm, known as Neverwhere, is filled with shadows, darkness, and a mix of monsters and saints. Here, he encounters Door, the girl he rescued, who is a powerful noblewoman determined to avenge her family’s slaughter and save her kingdom from destruction. To return to his old life, Richard must join Door on her perilous quest, facing unimaginable dangers and the possibility of death in this surreal underworld. This edition captures the essence of Gaiman's imaginative storytelling, enhanced by Riddell’s atmospheric illustrations.

    • The bestselling, award-bedecked Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell are reunited in this irresistible fairytale reboot, with vibrant red ink adding lustre to an amazingly beautiful book. 'Suffused with joy and melancholy ... It is absolutely a retelling for our age, but also for ages still to come' Guardian Weaving together hints of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty with a shimmering thread of dark magic, this twist on classic fairytales will hold readers spellbound from start to finish. On the eve of her wedding, a young queen sets out to rescue a princess from an enchantment. She casts aside her fine wedding clothes, takes her chain mail and her sword and ventures into the tunnels under the mountain towards the sleeping kingdom. This queen will decide her own future - and the princess who needs rescuing is not quite what she seems. Twisting together the familiar and the new, this delicious, captivating and darkly funny tale shows its creators at the peak of their talents and was the winner of the 2016 CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal. Lavishly produced and packed with glorious Chris Riddell illustrations, this amazingly beautiful book makes a spectacular and magical gift.

    • Юноша по имени Тристран отправляется на поиски упавшей с неба звезды для своей возлюбленной. Только он и не подозревает, что эта звезда - молодая девушка с весьма дерзким характером. И становиться подарком для другой она не собирается. Вместе с нашим героем они оказываются в водовороте приключений, в мире, полном самых удивительных созданий. Эта сказка для взрослых стала бестселлером и вдохновила режиссера Мэттью Вона на создание одноименного фильма с участием Роберта Де Ниро, Мишел Пфайффер и Клэр Дэйнс.
