      abstract = {Two stand-alone stories - the first in nearly 400 pages of  continuous pictures, the second in prose - create a  beguiling narrative puzzle.The journey begins at sea in  1766, with a boy named Billy Marvel. After surviving a  shipwreck, he finds work in a London theatre. There, his  family flourishes for generations as brilliant actors until  1900, when young Leontes Marvel is banished from the stage.  Nearly a century later, runaway Joseph Jervis seeks refuge  with an uncle in London. Albert Nightingale's strange,  beautiful house, with its mysterious portraits and ghostly  presences, captivates Joseph and leads him on a search for  clues about the house, his family, and the past. A gripping  adventure and an intriguing invitation to decipher how the  two stories connect, The Marvels is a loving tribute to the  power of story from an artist at the vanguard of creative  innovation. --},
