Representaion Concering Books Endymion Spring
"You've stumbled on to something much larger than you can possibly imagine."In the dead of night, a cloaked figure drags a heavy box through snow-covered streets. The chest, covered in images of mythical beasts, can only be opened when the fangs of its serpent's-head clasp taste blood.
Centuries later, in an Oxford library, a boy touches a strange book and feels something pierce his finger. The volume is blank, wordless, but its paper has fine veins running through it and seems to quiver, as if it's alive. Words begin to appear on the page--words no one but the boy can see.
And so unfolds a timeless secret . . . .

PlotImagine a book so magical and peculiar, that few people can use it. Cryptic phrases appear and disappear like magic, it can be torn and unfolded into large sheets, or folded into a tiny pocket square. Endymion Spring has discovered this amazing paper, and with just a bite of his blood, the paper has become his book. Based on historical fiction, this book starts out with Johannes Gutenberg and Johann Fust, the inventor and financial backer for the printing press, and their two apprentices.I really liked the story and I could feel the bigness of the story as well. However, I feel like the book was written in the wrong style for the story originally intentioned. Also, the writing could also probably have used some more revisions to be more concise.However, if there was a sequel, I would read it.
This debut novel by author Mattew Skelton intertwines two stories, one set at present-day Oxford University and the other in 15th century Germany. The present day story concerns Blake, a young child of divorced parents, who discovers a wordless book in the college library. It is not so much that he discovers the book but that the book discovers him. The book that Blake discovers purports to contain the secerts of eternal wisdom. It appears blank when the pages are looked upon, but shows the

Whew! That took quite a while! I'm just listening to the "exclusive interview" with Matthew Skelton... Okay, all done.Well, this book was really interesting, but somehow it wasn't so gripping as to motivate me to clean my house, like really good audiobooks do... ;) (Any excuse to keep reading, you see...)The book weaves two stories together: one set at present-day Oxford University and the other in 15th century Germany. The Oxford part of the story is about Blake, a young boy who finds a blank
In our family for over 10 years now, we've taken turns picking what book we read together every night. As such, we've read material as diverse as Jacques Lusseyran's And There Was Light, Hank the Cowdog, Seven Years in Tibet, Harry Potter, and even Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke.One of our kids recently chose Endymion Spring by Matthew Skelton. It was an interesting book, but having narrated a a good many self published books myself & listened to probably twice as many. Granted, there
With this book, I went back to my childhood when I read the book because I was fascinated with an interesting story in the book. This book has a magical story that draws us into the magical world of old books, the world that is so fascinating. The book begins with a strange chest by the city of Mainz in a snowstorm. This chest is kept secret because that will confront good and evil. One part of the story in the book follows the chest in the year 1452, and the second part of the story in the book
Endymion Spring is a book that I bought cheaply because of the cover. Lets be honest here, that cover is rather interesting with a dragon on it. But other than that I had no idea about this at all when I started it. And overall I was pleasantly surprised. Some books stayed with you long after you read them; they lingered in the unswept corners of your mind. This book is a middle grade book that easily sweeps you up in its world with Blake and his younger sister Duck (and no that is not her real
