Cress Watercress

內容簡介

內容簡介 這是一則精美插畫點綴的森林故事，兼具經典氣質與現代風格，由小說《魔法壞女巫》作者 Gregory Maguire 所創作，該小說更啟發了廣受歡迎的同名音樂劇。Gregory Maguire 以其獨有的機智與睿智，描繪了一段關於成長、告別與尋找歸屬感的動物冒險故事。當爸爸夜間去採蜜卻未歸，Cress仍抱有希望，但媽媽卻認為爸爸可能已遭不測。畢竟兔子生活的世界充滿危險。媽媽將剩下的西洋菜一家搬到破舊公寓「Broken Arms」的地下室，這棵老橡樹大樓住著一位可疑的貓頭鷹房東、愛打聽的老鼠管理員、吵鬧的松鼠家庭，以及一對愛八卦的歌鳥，他們總是把鄰居的事情播送出去。在這棵爛樹裡，沒有爸爸、又充斥著惱人的鄰居，這裡怎麼可能成為家呢？本書帶有E. B. White與《柳林風聲》的永恆精神，卻又深具現代感。適合所有喜愛動物故事的讀者，透過David Litchfield的黑白插畫，生動呈現這群令人難忘的角色，令人愛不釋手。A beautifully illustrated woodland tale with a classic sensibility and modern flair, from the author of the novel Wicked, which inspired the hit musical.Gregory Maguire turns his trademark wit and wisdom to an animal adventure about growing up, moving on and finding community. When Papa doesn't return from a nocturnal honey-gathering expedition, Cress holds out hope, but her mother assumes the worst. It’s a dangerous world for rabbits, after all. Mama moves what’s left of the Watercress family to the basement unit of the Broken Arms, a run-down apartment oak with a suspect owl landlord, a nosy mouse superintendent, a rowdy family of squirrels and a pair of songbirds who broadcast everyone’s business. Can a dead tree full of annoying neighbours, and no Papa, ever be home?In the timeless spirit of E. B. White and The Wind in the Willows – yet thoroughly of its time – this read-aloud and read-alone gem for animal lovers of all ages features an unforgettable cast that leaps off the page in black-and-white illustrations by David Litchfield.
