Andrew Peterson: creator of The Wingfeather Saga, a funny, big-hearted middle-grade fantasy quartet, now an award-winning crowdfunded animated series.

Andrew Peterson is an American singer-songwriter and author best known for The Wingfeather Saga, his warm, richly imagined middle-grade fantasy. Beginning with On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, the saga follows the Igiby children through a land under reptilian occupation, mixing footnote-strewn comedy and toothy cows with real peril, deep family love and, across North! Or Be Eaten, The Monster in the Hollows and The Warden and the Wolf King, a story that darkens into genuine loss, forgiveness and sacrifice. Illustrated throughout by Joe Sutphin, the books are treasured read-alouds that build to an emotionally devastating finale. A beloved saga for families who like their fantasy funny, big-hearted and unafraid of real feeling.
