About this product
Product Information
Reminiscent of I Capture the Castle, The Book of Hidden Wonders is a charming, deeply imaginative debut novel about a young girl and her eccentric father who hides within the pages of an illustrated book a treasure hunt that will lead her to uncover a priceless secret about her family's past. The Book of Hidden Wonders tells the story of Romilly Kemp and her artist father, who live in a ramshackle mansion in the English countryside. To help make ends meet, he creates a children's book series with Romilly - a striking redhead with a mole on her cheek - and her cat Monty that becomes an instant success. The rumor is that hidden within its pages are clues to an elaborate treasure hunt, and their estate becomes crowded with tourists and adventure-seekers hoping to find the treasure. As Romilly gets older, she finds her father disappearing within himself, and eventually learning he's suffering from dementia. Wanting to connect with her failing father and know him better, she returns to his books and comes to realize through a series of clues he's left just for her, that the treasure it leads to is worth more than gold or precious stones - it's a shocking discovery of her family that explains her peculiar childhood and helps her better understand herself. With the imagination of Aimee Bender's The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake and the heart of Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle, this is a tender and enlightening story of family, mortality, and self-discovery with a mystery that will keep readers eagerly turning the pages.

Reviews
An extraordinary debut. Polly Crosby has created an expertly crafted jigsaw puzzle, beautiful, dark, haunting and unforgettable. It is a most wonderfully tender nightmare, a haunted house childhood where the landscape gets ever stranger, a deeply affecting portrait of the climb towards adulthood. Nostalgic, familiar and yet utterly strange. I loved it., Polly Crosby makes sensory magic here, conjuring images of such vividness that I saw and tasted and smelled and heard and felt them for myself, and I'll remember them always. I'll remember Romilly and her father too: I loved them deeply, and they filled and broke my heart., Polly Crosby makes sensory magic here, conjuring images of such vividness that I saw and tasted and smelled and heard and felt them for myself, and I'll remember them always., A magical tale, beautifully written, evocative and mysterious, and stitched through with a dark thread that I wasn't expecting. What a wonderful book., Title notwithstanding, there's nothing hidden about the many wonders of Polly Crosby's magical debut. Yes, The Book of Hidden Wonders is a story about daughters and fathers, but it's more than that: it's a treatise on how to find hope in a universe rife with heartbreak and loss. May it light some of your darkest hours the way it has mine.

Item was delivered as advertised however it was not delivered in a box which allowed it to receive some minor damage. Book was in 2 very durable form fitted vinyl/plastic bags which would have been great had then been placed in a box to protect it. Seller was very easy to discuss issue with and the damage is slight. I would buy again from this seller.

Not standard size, used; priced like new standard size. Seller refused to pay return shipping for not-standard item, not noted in listing. I learned not to buy a book without a listed size; could be anything.
