Description
A first edition, first printing of ‘Impossible Creatures’ published by Bloomsbury in 2023. A fine book without inscriptions with the Waterstones ‘Chapter One Sampler’ – exceptionally rare and a nice pair.
Katherine Rundell’s ‘Impossible Creatures’ has rapidly reshaped children’s fantasy, winning major UK and US awards and becoming a bestseller. Its blend of myth, environmental urgency, and lush world-building has sparked discussions around loss, guardianship, and our relationship with nature in young adult literature. The book has also expanded into a multi-book franchise and been acquired by Disney for live-action adaptation, underscoring its global appeal and influence.
