The third book in the Wildwood Chronicles is even more rich and dazzling and surprising than the first two novels. Colin Meloy is at the height of his gifts with Wildwood Imperium, sealing the series’ destiny as a new classic.
Colin Meloy
Colin Meloy once wrote Ray Bradbury a letter, informing him that he 'considered himself an author too'. He was ten. Since then, Colin has gone on to be the singer and songwriter for the band The Decemberists, where he channels all of his weird ideas into weird songs. With the Wildwood Chronicles, he is now channeling those ideas into novels.
