We knew we had to find amazing artists to represent the characters in this intoxicating series. We had so many ideas for scenes, we had to take advantage of the end papers to bring those scenes to life! We are so pleased with the 6 different illustrations @arz28 came up with to make our end page dreams come true. Here's a sneak peek at some of this Holly-approved artwork in The Folk of the Air Collector’s Edition Box Set!
One of our favorite parts of 👑The Cruel Prince Collection🍄 is the Handwritten ANNOTATIONS by Holly Black throughout all the books.
