Mercedes Ice: An Urban Fairy Story for Modern Children

by Philip Ridley, Chris Riddell (Illustrator)

In the beginning, Shadow Point was the tallest, most magnificent tower block anyone had ever seen. But soon the shining concrete began to crack and the gleaming windows became grimy and dull. Into this colourless decay comes Mercedes Ice, Crown Prince of Shadow Point, with an impossible demand: colour.

Oddly terrifying. Like a weird fever dream.
