Description
The Marlows and their Maker is a companion to the Marlows series by Antonia Forest. Newly published by Girls Gone By Publishers, it includes over 200 pages of material devoted to her popular and acclaimed series.
This excellent book presents a study of the stories – the plots, the characters, the real and fictional geography – putting them into the context of the different times at which they were created, and incorporates all Forest’s comments on and criticisms of the original work.
It also includes:
- An introduction by Sue Sims, Antonia Forest’s literary executor
- Six specially created maps and charts
- Over 30 illustrations, one taken by Antonia Forest herself and most of the others commissioned for the book; the six colour pages include a spread showing the covers of the various editions of all Forest’s books
- A transcript of one of AF’s letters to the author, plus a facsimile of the first page
- Detailed ‘cast lists’
This book is a real must for the keen Forest reader and has been produced to the very high standards readers have come to expect from Girls Gone By.
