Description
Just as Neil Gaimanâ?Ts The Graveyard Book reworked Kiplingâ?Ts The Jungle Book for a modern audience with a liking for the supernatural, Devilskein & Dearlove is a darker, more edgy, contemporary reworking of Frances Hodgson Burnettâ?Ts classic The Secret Garden. An orphaned teenager is taken in by a reluctant distant relative, and in her new home makes an unexpected friend and finds a secret realm. It has shades of the quirky fantastical in the style of Miyazakiâ?Ts (Studio Ghibli) animated films like Spirited Away and Howlâ?Ts Moving Castle (originally a novel by Diana Wynne Jones). Alex says â?oAs a child The Secret Garden was one of my first favourite novels - one of the first I relished reading by myself. Although Devilskein & Dearlove is very different, it was inspired by that novel and its themes.â??â?oAlex Smithâ?Ts quirky imagination knows no bounds.â?? - AndrAc Brink
