Silverwing has become a classic, a touchstone book for
children—and more than a few adults as well. In the 10 years since its
publication, it has racked up sales of over 250,000 copies in Canada alone and
has been recognized by prize juries all over the world. Silverwing, the
first book in the blockbuster trilogy, has since been turned into a Teletoon
animated television show and was recently adapted for the stage. To celebrate
Silverwing’s 10th anniversary, we are proud to publish a new collector’s
edition, with spectacular cover and interior illustrations by acclaimed
children’s artist David Frankland and an introduction by Kenneth Oppel.
Frankland’s darkly magical drawings illuminate Silverwing’s nocturnal
world like never before, making this new edition a must-have book that Kenneth
Oppel fans will cherish.
