About this title

Synopsis

This will be a write-in book for fans of the bestselling "Spiderwick" series. There will be fifteen sections featuring text and illustrations about our favourite creatures from the first five books. The remainder of the book is write-in, for children to record their own sightings of these and other faerie creatures. In addition, there will be two colour plate inserts. A proportion of the material will be re-use.
