Santa Claus. Easter Bunny. Tooth Fairy. Sandman. Jack Frost. You know their names, but find out where they came from—and what evil-doer brought them together—in this complete paperback collection of the Guardians of Childhood books. A daredevil swordsman. A chocolate-obsessed genius. A fierce and feisty queen. A strong, if sleepy, star captain. A rebel with a cause. These are the Guardians of Childhood—though now they’re better known by their Earthly personas: Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman, and Jack Frost. But before the Earth holidays, before the glitz and glamor, before you knew their names, they were warriors. But when faced with an ancient villain, can good truly conquer evil?

Toothiana, Queen of the Tooth Fairy Armies The Sandman and the War of Dreams Jack Frost

When we last saw the Guardians, they were celebrating their victory during Bright Night, the final great Battle of the Moon, where they defeated Pitch once and for all. Or so they thought. Now, many years later, the Guardians have settled into their final selves, embracing their public images and the Earth Holidays. But the world has not been without evil since Pitch's imprisonment. First there was the World War, then The Crash which has led to what the humans call a Great Depression. All the Guardians feel the weight of these events, but Jack Frost--now half human, half of his former self Nightlight--feels it the most. Jack's transition from Nightlight to Guardian was not an easy one. Always inclined to keep to himself, Jack has become especially isolated from the other Guardians since his transformation. Yet it is Jack who Ombric Shalazar (once a great wizard, now known as Father Time) trusts with a tremendous secret. But for Jack to fully understand this secret, he must revisit his past--and finally tell his story

Nach Die fantastischen Bücher des Mister Morris Lessmore das neue Bilderbuch von Oscar-Preisträger William Joyce: Es war einmal eine Zeit, in der es keine Buchstaben gab. Zahlen bevölkerten die Welt, und alles war schön ordentlich ... aber auch grau und langweilig. Eines Tages beschlossen fünf Freunde, die Zahlen 1 bis 5, dass sich daran dringend etwas ändern musste. Also hämmerten und klopften, klebten und bastelten sie, bis sie etwas Wundervolles schufen: 26 Buchstaben von A bis Z. Und plötzlich war ihre Welt nicht mehr langweilig und grau, sondern bunt, vielfältig und farbenfroh. Denn mit den Buchstaben kamen auch die Geschichten ...
