Castle Waiting: Solictine

by Linda Medley

A fable for modern times, Castle Waiting tells the story of an isolated, abandoned castle, and the eccentric inhabitants who bring it back to life. It's a fairy tale that's not about rescuing the princess, saving the kingdom, or fighting the ultimate war between Good and Evil... but about being a hero in your own home. Volume 2 tells the story of Peaceful Warren, a young woman destined and determined to live an unconventional life. With over fifteen years experience in Comics and Children's Books, Medley's lavish, classic style is reminiscent of Arthur Rackham and William Heath Robinson.
