Enter the looking glass. Enter a reflected universe of wonder and danger. Enter a work of classic intrigue and suspense. Enter the mixed-media adventure of The Mirrorstone by Michael Palin, Alan Lee, and Richard Seymour. Beckoned through a mirror by his uncooperative reflection, Paul finds himself in an eerie world of medieval magic. At the behest of Salaman, an ageless sorcerer with foul intentions, Paul must undertake a perilous quest to retrieve a lost miracle artifact known the Mirrorstone. Palin’s text provides the necessary thrills, while Lee’s illustrations combined with Seymour’s rainbow holographic images (the first of their kind in a picture book) define a landscape of beauty, mystery, and impending doom. #mirror #stone #reflection #magic #book #books #childrensbooks #beautifulbook #beautifulbooks #beautifulbookcovers #picturebook #picturebooks #picturebookillustration #picturebookillustrations #picturebookart #classicchildrensbooks #childrensbookillustration #childrensliterature #illustration #kidlit #kidsbooks #bookworm #booklover #booklovers #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #instabook #instabooks
