Lillybeth and Hinsberth: The Edges of Things (Volume 1)

What would one do if suddenly happening upon those who know only suffering and despair? For Lillybeth and Hinsberth, two precocious ducklings with a pound of curiosity and a ton of heart, the answer is: everything they can.

Join the adventure as intensely curious Lillybeth and loyal, chivalrous friend Hinsberth set off to search for the top of the sky, only to be torn apart by the vagaries of nature. Unable to fly, Hinsberth stumbles upon a forbidding place and despite the boundaries separating them he befriends a kind and generous pig trapped with a thousand others in frightful conditions and facing an unknown fate. Once reunited, against impossible odds the ducklings commit themselves to freeing Hinsberth's friend and a thousand suffering souls. Seeking help, the ducklings, their fiesty, elegant friend Anati and their families journey to a mystical place called Chrysalis and discover that all is not what it seems — for many in the duckling's world are trapped, lost amidst the walls and boundaries of their own making, and to have any hope of saving Hinsberth's friend and his fellow captives, Lillybeth and Hinsberth must somehow rescue everyone, and take them all beyond The Edges of Things.

Introducing a cast of endearing, courageous and plucky characters who are never far from finding a good tug on the heartstrings, Lillybeth and Hinsberth: The Edges of Things is a timeless adventure that will leave you soaring.
