-
This is a gorgeous Victorian fantasy-adventure hardback series featuring an eleven year old orphan named Stella Montgomery. I have chosen a beautiful Victorian yet modern font to complement the style of illustration, which is also used in the internals. The design was created with the series in mind but I also wanted each book to be a special object that works on it’s own. The internals in each book are printed in a single pantone colour that matches the ribbon and has a combination of delicately detailed full page illustrations and smaller illustrations which scatter within the text. There are two books in the series Withering-by-Sea and Wormwood Mire.
