Description
Just as Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book reworked Kipling’s The Jungle Book for a modern audience with a liking for the supernatural, Devilskein & Dearlove is a darker, more edgy, contemporary reworking of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s classic The Secret Garden.
An orphaned teenager is taken in by a reluctant distant relative, and in her new home makes an unexpected friend and finds a secret realm.
It has shades of the quirky fantastical in the style of Miyazaki’s (Studio Ghibli) animated films like Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle (originally a novel by Diana Wynne Jones). Alex says “As a child The Secret Garden was one of my first favourite novels - one of the first I relished reading by myself.
Although Devilskein & Dearlove is very different, it was inspired by that novel and its themes.”“Alex Smith’s quirky imagination knows no bounds.” - André Brink
