(From the Folio Society website) "Death is the teller of this tale, which follows Liesel Meminger, a young girl plucked from her own life and dispatched to a foster family. When Liesel finds a book on the cold graveyard ground, her world changes forever. Marcus Zusak weaves a narrative that is a reckoning of the not-so-distant past with a love letter to humanity, and to literature. This cult modern classic has been brought to life by Alexis Deacon’s atmospheric illustrations, which Markus said are filled with ‘little gifts and treasures’. Our limited edition is signed by the author and the artist and contains a very special letter to the reader from Markus Zuzak himself."
