I have to admit, I'm really proud of how this one turned out. The Illustrator, Nate Taylor, really outdid himself.... But you can't trust my opinion. It's my book after all.So here's a couple people who have no particular reason to lie about it.Like Bill Willingham:"Patrick Rothfuss and Nate Taylor seem determined [...] to bring back the lost but lovely tradition of bedtime stories that make children afraid to sleep. After my second outing with the Princess and Mr. Whiffle, I have one more comment to add: More, please." Paolo Bacigalupi said it, "Damaged my soul." "There's something wrong with Patrick Rothfuss. I mean that as a compliment." - John Scalzi. Honestly? These are some of my favorite promo blurbs ever....

The Dark of Deep Below (The Adventures of the Princess and Mr. Whiffle #2)

: In the first volume of The Adventures of The Princess and Mr. Whiffle, we learned what lurks beneath our beds. What's more, we learned that little girls are not helpless, and that princesses are not always what they seem. In this second installment of the Princess's adventures, we learn a little more about the Princess's family. We learn how dark it is in the Deep Below… And we learn what happens when the Princess gets a little brother. The Adventures of The Princess and Mr. The Dark of Deep Below is a dark twist on the classic children's picture book. Perfect for geek children and adults who love dark faerie tales, international bestselling author Patrick Rothfuss has described the Princess's adventures as, 'Calvin and Hobbes meets Coraline, with a healthy dose of Edward Gorey mixed in.'
