Elenora Mandragora: Daughter of Merlin: 1 (Eleanor Mandragore) - Tapa dura

A lyrical fantasy graphic novel for all ages, Gauthier and Labourot's passion for their story is clear on every page. As quirky as Roald Dahl, as whimsical as Disney, and as beautiful as Miyazaki.

In a quiet forest the young Eleanor follows the teaching of her father, Merlin the wizard. For Merlin is dead -- killed by the horrible shriek of a mandrake root -- though his ghost will not rest. But with the help of Eleanor, Merlin's ghost won't stay dead for long and the forest will never be the same.
