Synopsis
Journey back in time to the roaring twenties, and across England and Lapland, to experience the charming and thrilling adventure of Emma G. Wildford, a tale that mixes mystery, grand adventure, and love.
It's been fourteen months since Emma G. Wildford's fiancé, Roald Hodges, a member of the National Geographic Society board the good ship Kinship and set sail for Norway... and she has had no news of him since. Every day, she questions the other members of the Society about his whereabouts, and his current situation, whether good or ill, but to no avail.
Before he left, Roald gave Emma a mysterious envelope to open, but only in case something happened to him. Rejecting the very thought of Roald's death, Emma decides to leave behind everything - her life, her comfort, her England, to go to Lapland in pursuit.
Along the way, Emma's certainties and beliefs will be challenged in every way, changing this quest for her fiancé into a quest for her true, essential self.
Beautifully illustrated and rivetingly written, Emma G. Wildford is a character that will imprint herself on your mind and memory forever!

About the Author
Zidrou (Benoît Drousie) was born in 1962 in Brussels. Starting out as a teacher, he began writing books and songs for children in the early '90s. In 1991, he met the illustrator Godi with whom he created L'Elève Ducobu (Le Lombard 1997, Ducoboo, Cinebook 2006), beginning his career as a comics writer.
Edith was born in Marseille on July 25, 1960. She collaborated with Asylum on several works with Didier Cromwell and Riff Reb. In 1990 she illustrated Basil & Victoria, written by Yann. The series was rewarded an Alph'art in 1993 and soon adapted into a cartoon.
