The Beatryce Prophecy BSY695

US$15.95

From two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo and two-time Caldecott Medalist Sophie Blackall comes a fantastical meditation on fate, love, and the power of words to spell the world.
We shall all, in the end, be led to where we belong. We shall all, in the end, find our way home.
In a time of war, a mysterious child appears at the monastery of the Order of the Chronicles of Sorrowing. Gentle Brother Edik finds the girl, Beatryce, curled in a stall, wracked with fever, coated in dirt and blood, and holding fast to the ear of Answelica the goat. As the monk nurses Beatryce to health, he uncovers her dangerous secret, one that imperils them all—for the king of the land seeks just such a girl, and Brother Edik, who penned the prophecy himself, knows why.
And so it is that a girl with a head full of stories—powerful tales-within-the-tale of queens and kings, mermaids and wolves—ventures into a dark wood in search of the castle of one who wishes her dead. But Beatryce knows that, should she lose her way, those who love her—a wild-eyed monk, a man who had once been king, a boy with a terrible sword, and a goat with a head as hard as stone—will never give up searching for her, and to know this is to know everything. With its timeless themes, unforgettable cast, and magical medieval setting, Kate DiCamillo’s lyrical tale, paired with resonant black-and-white illustrations by Caldecott Medalist Sophie Blackall, is a true collaboration between masters.

在很久以前的战争时期,一个身世神秘的孩子发着高烧,出现在《悲伤王国编年史》修道会。她只记得自己的名字比阿特丽丝和一个奇怪的梦。修士艾迪克发现了她的秘密,一个危险的预言——有一天,会出现一个女孩,推翻一个国王。

为了解答心中的疑问——“我是谁?我该如何面对这个世界?”比阿特丽丝冒险进入黑暗森林,寻找那个追捕她的国王所在的城堡。途中,一个曾经当过国王的正直的老人,一个手握宝剑的男孩,一只脑袋硬如石头的山羊,一个眼球不停转动的修士,陪她度过重重危机。直到一天,比阿特丽丝被国王的士兵抓走,一个美丽的“美人鱼和独眼海马”的故事开始在比阿特丽丝的脑海中编织,并将帮她度过最后的危机……
