These exciting tales are ideal for those new to the Edge or as an addition to the collection of any fan. They feature stories from each of the Edge trilogies: one from the time of Twig, one from the time of Quint, Twig's father, and one from the time of Rook, Twig's grandson. Meet well-known characters from the Edgeworld and get a tantalising glimpse into the last Edge novel ever - released in 2009. The collection also includes a beautiful fold-out timeline of the Edgeworld and "Cloud Wolf" and "The Stone Pilot", World Book Day stories that fans have repeatedly asked to see again.
