In The Marvels, Selznick crafts another remarkable      artistic and bookmaking achievement that weaves together two      seemingly unrelated stories - one in words, the other in pictures      - with spellbinding synergy.         \"The illustrations take you by the hand, and they don't let      go\" - The Guardian      The illustrated story begins in 1766 with Billy Marvel, the lone      survivor of a shipwreck, and charts the adventures of his family      of actors over five generations.         The prose story opens in 1990 and follows Joseph, who has run      away from school to an estranged uncle's puzzling house in London,      where he, along with the reader, must piece together many mysteries.         Filled with mystery, vibrant characters, surprise twists, and      heart-rending beauty, and featuring Selznick's most arresting art      to date, The Marvels is a moving tribute to the power of      story.
