Books with title Willow, the Wisp

A new, fully illustrated chapter book series from New York Times–bestselling author Jonathan Auxier! Welcome to the Fabled Stables, a magical building filled with one-of-a-kind creatures. Creatures including the Gargantula, the Yawning Abyss, the Hippopotamouse . . . and Auggie. Auggie is the only human boy at the Stables, and he takes care of all the other animals. The Fabled Stables have a mind of their own, and every so often, the building SHAKES and SHUDDERS, TWITCHES and SPUTTERS—it’s making room for a new arrival! It’s Auggie’s job to venture out and rescue a new creature from mortal danger. But will he be able to complete his mission before it’s too late? With some help from Fen (a literal stick-in-the-mud) and his animal companions, Auggie saves the day and makes a new friend in the process.

Tardily the cloud gates, far eastward, opened to a new-bom day; liquid glories licked the tree-spiked horizon. A misty sheen of orange and purple drifted across lake and forest and wiped the last sombre shadows from the mystery-enshrouded world. Throughout the greening aisles wild life awoke and to the music of God swind-played organ ascended the chanted thanks of His wild creatures. Standing on the shore of the lake, a young man watched the wondrous streamers transform his solitude. Upon his bronzed face the morning sunlight lingered, and in his dark, wide-set eyes rested a deep perplexity bom of the dumb groping for the solution of what was still to him a mystery. Linked to the wild, he was its worshipper, but one who could read the Lords Prayer in the lighting skies. In the faint glow that dawned like a smile of promise Our Father which art in heaven With the out-sweeping glory Thy kingdom come And with the purple haze on lake and tree-tops, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
