Characters are enchanted, they transgress, they yearn, they hunger, they hate, and, sometimes, they kill. Some of the stories inhabit a traditional fairytale world, while others are set in the distant future. Some are set in the present and some in an alternative present. The stories offer no prescription for living or moral advice and none belong in a nursery. Open the covers and submit to their enchantment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isobelle Carmody\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1742374409\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781742374406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Allen \u0026amp; Unwin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.49h x 5.16w x 1.02d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2014 pg. 95\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Isobelle Carmody","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088753963263,"sku":"9781742374406","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9e935acf-1c40-4746-932f-276b2560cc76.jpg?v=1769106435","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-wilful-eye-isobelle-carmody-9781742374406","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
