They are the amazing team who brought us The Far-Flung Adventures, three books with some overlap that are sort of a kinder, gentler version of the Edge Chronicles. But first, I must let you know (or remind you) that Stewart and Riddell are the creators of many other books that have been reviewed here. The similarities (and differences) between DiTerlizzi's book and those of British writing and illustrating team Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell gave me that nudge I needed to sit down and tackle this gorgeously illustrated, lavishly populated series that is crammed full of amazing creatures, characters, geography and, of course, adventure. As I was reading Tony DiTerlizzi's newest venture, The Search for WondLa I couldn't help but think of The Edge Chronicles, an amazing series that I started reading to my kids in 2004 and began writing a review of a year ago today.
