Product Description

Product Description
This special boxed set, shaped like the trunk containing the artifacts that the Grace children reportedly found, includes the first five original hardback storybooks, along with a paperback edition of the Notebook for Fantastical Observations, plus, six unique Spiderwick postcards! A must have for Spiderwick fans everywhere! Please note this is a rough cut edition, it is the intended nature of the finish of the pages to be slightly uneven.

About the Author
Mary Botham Howitt was born in 1799 in Coleford, England. Originally published in 1829, Mary's best-known work 'The Spider and the Fly' has been enjoyed by generations of readers and has become an age old classical cautionary tale. Mary Howitt died in Rome in 1888. Tony DiTerlizzi's unique and unusal artstyle is the perfect complement to Howitt's classic tale. He lives with his wife in Brooklyn, New York. Holly Black spent her early years in a decaying Victorian mansion where her mother fed her a steady diet of ghost stories and faerie tales. An avid collector of rare folklore volumes, spooky dolls, and crazy hats, she lives in West Long Branch, New Jersey, with her husband, Theo. Together with illustrator Tony DiTerlizzi, she is the creator of the bestselling Spiderwick Chronicles series of children's books. For more information, visit www.blackholly.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical Set for ages 7 and up, 7 Jul 2008
By debbie8355 "*" (Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
I was really pleased with this set. The trunk is sturdy cardboard and has a hidden magnetic snap shut closure all along the front edge - slightly magical in the way it clunks shut. It is decorated on every side on the outside and on the inner lid.

The 5 story books are hardback about 100 pages long and as a nice touch the paper edges are uneven and different sizes to give them an old spooky book feel. It does make it a little difficult to turn the pages which may put off younger readers. The postcards are sealed together in sellophane and the 215+ page notebook is paperback.

It is slightly smaller than I imagined but a lovely looking set and would make an ideal gift (athough get Amazon to deliver to a gift address as it's very heavy).

The stories themselves are wonderfully magical and should appeal to any Harry Potter fan. They are wonderfully illustrated with black and white drawings but also a colour plate on each first page giving them an old book feel. The books are short but make wonderful stories to read aloud for children and easier books to finish for junior readers age 7+.

The books in the set are American versions - the prices are in dollars and the books themselves are full of American language like 'Mom' etc which is to be expected as the book is about 3 American children who move into a spooky house and get into dangerous adventures with all manner of mystical and magical creatures.

Highly Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spiderwick Chronicles Trunk, 9 Feb 2009
By Wil E Coyote "AJ" (Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, England) - See all my reviews
My 9 year old son has nearly finished the second book and is thoroughly enjoying reading them. The trunk keeps the collection together. I read the reviews that had been posted about this collection and was concerned about the uneven page edges that were mentioned. The pages are uneven on my sons set, not sure wether this is intentional or a fault but it does not detract from the pleasure of the story. I would have preferred nice neat edges but not that concerned as to return the set.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Spiderwick Chronicles, 9 Sep 2008
A Kid's Review
This a set of 5 books. They are fun, adventurous and really exciting.I have enjoyed reading them with my Mummy and Daddy. The stories are about 3 children called Simon, Jared and Mallory and their adventures with creatures like goblins and boggarts. They go on a quest to find their great uncle.
