Eragon’s Guide to Alagaësia set for November release
Doubleday, an imprint of Random House Children’s Books (UK), will publish a unique novelty book based on Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance cycle this fall.
Eragon’s Guide to Alagaësia is being created by Knopf in conjunction with Templar Publishing, who is recognized as the market leader in developing groundbreaking and bestselling novelty gift books. This project marks the first time Paolini’s Inheritance cycle will be introduced in a format beyond novels.
The book will be published by Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers in North America on November 3, 2009, and simultaneously by Random House Children’s Books in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
“We’re thrilled to be able to offer this spectacular book to fans this fall,” says Nancy Hinkel, Publishing Director of Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers. “Eragon’s Guide to Alagaësia will take readers deeper into the captivating world Christopher created, offering a visual perspective of the novels that millions of readers across the world have come to love.”
Eragon’s Guide to Alagaësia is framed as a gift from Eragon to the reader—who is, in fact, a new Rider. In fifteen lavishly illustrated spreads, the reader is invited to explore the landscape and cities of Alagaësia and its many races, including dragons, humans, Urgals, dwarves and elves. Each spread is filled with special effects and stunning examples of paper engineering and other elements for which Templar is so well known.
Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance cycle, which includes the acclaimed novels Eragon, Eldest and Brisingr, is an international sensation – with over 50 foreign-language licenses – and has sold more than 22 million copies worldwide. Paolini is currently at work on the fourth book which will conclude the Inheritance cycle.
Random House Children’s Books is an award-winning publisher of books for children of all ages.
In addition to Christopher Paolini, Its bestselling authors include Terry Pratchett, Philip Pullman,
and Jacqueline Wilson.
