Sea Lion Books is proud to announce they will be republishing the critically acclaimed Patrick Rothfuss picture-book illustrated by Nate Taylor, The Adventures of the Princess and Mr. Whiffle: The Thing Beneath the Bed.
Don’t let the sweet cover and sugary title fool you, this is not a children’s book. From the mad mind of New York Times bestselling author Patrick Rothfuss comes a dark tale not for the faint of heart. A story evoking memories of good old-fashioned faerie tales, the main characters are the cute little girl princess and her outwardly adorable teddy bear, Mr. Whiffle.
The world seems wonderful and good for the duo, except for the monster lurking Beneath the bed.
The Adventures of the Princess and Mr. Whiffle is an odd mix of dark classic storytelling, new age terror, and a macabre sense of wicked humor that leave the reader with three possible endings, each one being darker than the last, letting the reader decide how far they dare to go.
The final ending just might keep your teddy bear awake tonight, or at least start a stuffed animal rebellion. The reprint will include original bonus material and a Q&A with author Patrick Rothfuss.
“Sea Lion Books is very excited to be able to republish this amazing story that is destined to be a classic modern faerie tale,” said Derek Ruiz, Executive Vice President and Publisher of Sea Lion Books.
The Adventures of the Princess and Mr. Whiffle: The Thing Beneath the Bed will be released as a soft cover title in July 2012 and will retail for $14.99, ISBN 978-0-9836131-5-2.
