Book 1 of the Twig Saga Beyond the Deepwoods was the first book in The Edge Chronicles, the fourth book chronologically, and the first book in the Twig Trilogy. It discussed Twig's adventures through the Deepwoods when he stepped off the woodtroll path, and his numerous encounters with the various creatures in the vast forest. The book ended with the reunion of Twig with his father, Cloud Wolf. Twig nodded. It had been painful, so painful, being different when he was growing up. Yet it amused him now to think of his parents' surprise when he had appeared: dark, green-eyed, smooth-skinned, and already with unusually long legs for a woodtroll. He stared into the fire. Through the window, the sun was sinking lower in the dappled sky. The zigzag silhouettes of the Deepwood pines were glinting like frozen bolts of lightning. Twig knew there would be snow before his father returned that night. Ich konnte mit der Figur von Twig nicht wirklich viel anfangen - er wirkte etwas unschlüssig in allem, was er tat und oft auch unbeteiligt, als wäre ihm alles egal, was passiert, oder würde ihn nicht wirklich berühren. urn:lcp:beyonddeepwoods0000stew:epub:99e54c06-70cd-4057-bc38-4dc697bd6741 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier beyonddeepwoods0000stew Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t4mm9372f Invoice 1652 Isbn 9780552569675

Spelda is super worried that the sky pirate will return and take Twig anyway, so she sends him to Cousin Snetterbark’s house. Spelda warns Twig to not stray from the path, but Twig is a bit rubbish with instructions and he becomes lost. Twig bumps into another girl, this time she’s a termagant troll called Mag. He follows her and is kepy by Mag as a pet. It’s really uncomfortable, especially when she turns into a real troll and tries to kill him. Apparently the adults don’t like pets. Ich bin von dem Buch ein bisschen enttäuscht, weil ich eine völlig andere Erwartung hatte. Das Cover hat mich an die Scheibenweltromane erinnert, dabei hat man es hier mit einem reinen Kinderbuch zu tun. Was jetzt an sich nicht schlimm wäre, aber ich bin mit dem Handlungsablauf nicht so wirklich klargekommen. Warum ich trotzdem weitergelesen habe, liegt an der großen Kreativität, die dem Dunkelwald Leben eingehaucht hat und den fantastischen Illustrationen von Chris Riddell. Jede der Illustrationen ist ein kleines Meisterwerk.

The lufwood was burning very well. Purple flames blazed all round the stubby logs as they bumped and tumbled around inside the stove.

Chris Riddell says that "...the books I loved as a child always had intriguing maps in the front of them... But I always wanted to know what lay beyond the edges of the map – where the heffalumps were, over the Northern Mountains or across the sea to the West. So I drew a world that was, literally, on the Edge, and asked Paul to imagine what happened there." Paul Stewart decided to set the first book in an area of the map called the Deepwoods. He was heavily inspired by Grimm's fairy tales, by natural history, and by Riddell's artwork. [5] Critical reception [ edit ] I remember first reading this aged 11, at a very unhappy time in my childhood, and it was the very best escape into fantasy I could have hoped for. The world that Paul Stewart paints for us is simply magical, without leaning on all of the cliches of typical fantasy elements. It is entirely original, and wonderful.Beyond the Deepwoods by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell book review". fantasybookreview.co.uk . Retrieved 23 November 2015. Twig ist ein abenteuerliches Buch für Leser ab 12 Jahren. In dieser Geschichte trifft man wundersame Geschöpfe und Pflanzen, wie Honigkobolden, Banderbären, Höhlenfurien, Wiegenliedbäumen, Himmelspiraten und Bluteichen. So trifft er auf hilfreiche und mörderische Wesen. Turns out that what he thought was his mother was actually a skullpelt pretending to be her. It was about to eat him when a Caterbird saved him. The two now share a bond, which is nice. In one of the chapters you meet a big Beast (the one on the Front of the book) that becomes a main Character and you start to love him and then love him more AND THEN HE DIES!!! and he is only in there for one chapter so sad.
