Foulsham (Iremonger) - Tapa dura
Críticas
Heap House is weird, yes. Spectacularly so.
How do I even begin to talk about this exceptional, astonishing book? Reading Heap House I was reminded of Edward Gorey, Lemony Snicket, and Roald Dahl; it's a grimy world with a sepia glow, a Victoriana of malicious clutter. It's an intelligent, thoughtful, compassionate book. It's also gorgeously written. Heap House is, its heart of trash notwithstanding, an absolute treasure.
Heap House--the first in a trilogy set in Victorian England--is a witty, fantastical, sometimes terrifying world, like the best kind of fairy tales. And like many fairy tales, it's suitable for children as well as adults.
Whimsically gothic...
Foulsham is just as creepy and artful as the trilogy opener, Heap House...Once again, black and white illustrations add to the overall feel of this wonderfully dark and unique novel.
Foulsham is a jaunty sequel to Edward Carey's delightful Heap House. Carey, who teaches fairy tales at the University of Texas and illustrates his books, knows how to keep the narrative moving. But he also knows how to write interesting, quirky characters who will appeal to adults as well as children.

Reseña del editor
At the Iremonger family offices in the aptly named borough of Foulsham, London's great repository of filth, Grandfather Umbitt Iremonger has found a way to make objects assume the shapes of people, and how to turn people into objects. Clod, whom he sees as a threat, has been turned into a gold coin and is being passed as currency from hand-to-hand through the town. Meanwhile, Lucy Pennant has been discarded as a clay button, abandoned in the depths of the Heaps. Will they be found and returned to human form? Enter Binadit and Rippit...Meanwhile Umbitt builds an army of animated objects to retrieve the missing gold coin. All around the city, thing—ordinary things—are twitching into life, and the reader is held in breathless suspense as questions of life and death, value and disposability, rumble through this dark and mesmerizing world.
