The acclaimed artist Brom brilliantly displays his multiple extraordinary talents in The Child Thief a spellbinding re-imagining of the beloved Peter Pan story that carries readers through the perilous mist separating our world from the realm of Faerie. As Gregory Maguire did with his New York Times bestselling Wicked novels, Brom takes a classic children s tale and turns it inside-out, painting a Neverland that, like Maguire s Oz, is darker, richer, more complex than innocent world J.M. Barrie originally conceived.
