The Wolves of Currumpaw
Ilustrat de William Grillen Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 iul 2016 – vârsta de la 7 până la 14 ani
The Wolves of Currumpaw is a beautifully illustrated modern re-telling of Ernest Thompson Seton's epic wilderness drama Lobo, the King of Currumpaw, originally published in 1898. Set in the dying days of the old west, Seton's drama unfolds in the vast planes of New Mexico, at a time when man's relationship with nature was often marked by exploitations and misunderstanding. This is the first graphic adaptation of a massively influential piece of writing by one of the men who went on to form the Boy Scouts of America.

Recenzii
A JUNIOR LIBRARY GUILD SELECTION
A powerful, cinematic work of naturalistic fiction that deftly outlines the importance of respecting nature.
—Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW
Breathtaking illustrated pages [...] Mr. Grill uses colored pencils and perspective pulled well back—to reveal men and animals as vanishingly small when set against the beautiful vastness of the natural world.
—The Wall Street Journal
An artful, thought-provoking adaptation sure to inspire budding conservationists.
—Booklist
The winner of the 2015 Kate Greenaway Medal offers an atmospheric retelling of a 19th-century tale that helped to spark the wildlife conservation movement in this country. […] the illustrations convey an intensity of feeling in keeping with the profound way the experience changed at least one man’s life.
—Kirkus Reviews
Like William Grill’s other picture book, Shackleton’s Journey, Wolves is beautifully illustrated on thick textured paper with colored pencils. Wolves [...] is powerful, told as much by Grill’s narrative as it is by his illustrations. [...] I look forward to seeing what he brings us next.
—Wink
In his follow-up to the beautiful Shackleton's Journey, William Grill and his colored pencils tackle the story of Lobo king wolf of the Currumpaw valley and the men who tried to hunt him in the 1880's. The text is compassionate yet honest about the events, telling the reader what happened and why it was harmful. But, being William Grill, it's the dream-like art that shines in his burning red brown deserts and sweeping blue skies. It might have felt like an age since a new project by Grill (though it's only been two years) but Wolves is worth every moment of that wait.
—Amy Brabenec, Brookline Booksmith
This is a lovely book which is sure to win many hearts.
—Nicola Mansfield, Back To Books
What makes this book brilliant – a bar-smasher – is the way Grill has blended and merged different genres to create something that is uniquely his own. Fact and fiction, word and picture become one. It’s a book full of wisdom – it is beyond categorisation and beyond compare.
—A Bookish Life
This is a lovely book which is sure to win many hearts.
—It's All Comic To Me
