About the Books
In Journey, a lonely girl draws a magical door on her bedroom wall and steps into a fantastical world of flying carpets, hidden castles and a sinister emperor, discovering that courage and kindness can set her free. Quest continues the adventure as the girl and a new friend are thrust into a race against time to rescue a captured king, armed only with a mysterious map and a handful of coloured markers. Finally, Return brings the trilogy full circle: struggling to win her busy father's attention, the girl journeys back into the enchanted realm for one last, dazzling adventure that reveals the story's emotional heart. Together, these three wordless picture books form a visually stunning saga celebrated by critics and readers worldwide, praised by the New York Times as a 'masterwork' of children's illustration. Each page is packed with intricate, imaginative detail, inviting children to narrate the story in their own words and revisit the books again and again, discovering something new each time. This collection is ideal for developing observation skills, creativity and a love of storytelling in young readers, and works beautifully as a read-aloud or independent picture-book experience.
