Books with author Greg Hildebrandt

Originally published in 1900, the story of Dorothy's trip to Oz was the first truly American fairy tale. Here's a dazzling new way to enjoy L. Frank Baum's classic story about the little girl from rural Kansas who flew away on a tornado. Lavish full-color illustrations by Greg Hildebrandt, one of our finest fantasy artists, bring to life the world of the Tin Woodman, Cowardly Lion, Scarecrow, and Wizard.

The mice and rats of Brystal cannot escape their destinies. A secret will be revealed A prophecy will be fulfilled And the peace will come to an end. AS DARKNESS DESCENDS, HEROES ARE BORN Treachery is everywhere in Brystal The mice of Windelwood have led a peaceful existence for twelve years thanks to the Korn Truce, which ended the dreadful war between mice and rats. But it is well known that rats can never be trusted In the desolate rat territory of Northrack, Lord Elnack vows to bring his empire back to the glory they once knew. He enlists the mighty warrior Otak to lead the vicious battle to conquer the mousefishing village of Copper Lake—even if it means breaking the Korn Truce. After a surprise assault from the rat's Citadel Legion, young cousins Crycket and Sylan must quickly train for battle against enemies they never dreamed they'd encounter—evil frogs, an ancient snake with powers beyond imagination, and perhaps even each other. Neither of them knows the terrible secret that will change the course of history yet. Greg Hildebrandt Jr. has created an astonishing world in which mice travel on the backs of roosters, frogs are skilled warriors, and rats struggle for ultimate power. With extraordinary illustrations from Alex Horley and Dean Robinson, this is a journey unlike any other.

During the 1970s, the collaborative art of twin brothers Greg and Tim Hildebrandt captivated a generation with vivid depictions of characters from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy. Today, both are acclaimed fantasy and comic book illustrators, and Greg Hildebrandt has turned his focus to children's books. His gorgeous images bring to life the story of Pinocchio, the marionette who longs to be a real boy. This new illustrated classic edition is closely adapted from the most widely accepted translation of the enchanting folk tale by the 19th-century Italian journalist Carlo Collodi, first published in 1883.
