Back in July 2011, I wrote of my excitement at the pending release of a young reader’s novel, Wildwood, the first of a planned trilogy by Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy, with illustrations by his wife Carson Ellis.
Well, Wildwood was fabulous, a wonderful, imaginative adventure through a fictional fantasy world in a wooded area in modern day Portland.
And now my excitement is renewed, with the news that the follow-up, the second book in the trilogy, titled Under Wildwood, is due out September 15th!
Check out the link to the article, which contains a teaser video interview with Meloy and Ellis:
