Overview

Aidan Errolson, comes from a long line of storied adventurers, but he never has any real adventures of his own. That, he believes, is the one great injustice of his otherwise happy life.

All that will change the day he hears the bark of the bog owl and meets Dobro Turtlebane. Dobro is one of the Feechiefolk-a tribe of half-civilized swamp dwellers who fight too much, laugh too loud, cry too easily, and smell just terrible.

But another meeting will change Aidan's life even more profoundly. Bayard the Truthspeaker arrives with a startling pronouncement about the coming of the Wilderking, the long-prophesied wild man who will emerge from the deep reaches of Corenwald's forests and swamps to lead the kingdom back to its former glory.

These 20th-anniversary editions of the Wilderking Trilogy include newly-written material by the author and all-new illustrations by Joe Hox. They may smell faintly of the Feechiefen Swamp.*

*If book does not smell faintly of swamp, soak in tepid water for 3-4 months for dramatic results.

About the Author

Jonathan Rogers received his undergraduate degree from Furman University and holds a Ph.D. in seventeenth-century English literature from Vanderbilt University. In addition to the beloved Wilderking Trilogy and its not-so-distant cousin, The Charlatan's Boy, he is the author of The Terrible Speed of Mercy, The World According to Narnia and a pithy biography of Saint Patrick. When he is not writing his own stories, he's shepherding the stories of others as the host of The Habit-a podcast and an online hub for writers at TheHabit.co.

Joe Hox was raised on a farm in southern Iowa where he doodled whenever he wasn't spading thistles or feeding pigs. Everyone knew by his crooked hay-rows that he would one day choose art over farming, and they were not wrong. He earned his masters degree in art education, and now he's in the studio full-time living out his childhood dream of being an illustrator. He has illustrated more than twenty-five books, including S. D. Smith's Mooses with Bazookas, and he loves to collaborate with his wife, author Kate Hox, on books that help families deepen their faith in God.
