This stunning new colouring book by Johanna Basford takes readers on a inky quest through an enchanted forest to discover what lies in the castle at its heart. As well as drawings to complete, colour and embellish, there are hidden objects to be found along the way including wild flowers, animals and birds, gems, lanterns, keys and treasure chests. Beginning at the entrance to the forest, the journey progresses through woodland, rocky caves and tree-lined mazes, over streams and a waterfall, across the trees tops, to finally reach the castle. Also hidden throughout the book are nine symbols. Readers must find all the symbols to unlock the castle door at the end of the quest and discover what lies within.

乔汉娜·贝斯福(Johanna Basford),英国著名插画家,2005年毕业于邓迪大学艺术与设计学院(Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design)织物图案设计专业。她擅长以黑白二原色勾勒出炫酷的作品。她不仅能从大自然中获得创 作灵感,更能以各式各样饰品、织物为蓝图,创作出精美绝伦的作品。在创作理念方面,她坚信电脑制造的图案是冰冷的、没有内在灵魂的,因此她在创作的过程中从不使用电脑。她曾与索尼、星巴克、绝对伏特加和爱丁堡艺术节合作。目前工作和生活于苏格兰阿伯丁郡。

本书是她的第一本手绘涂色书,她的第二本涂色书《魔法森林》（Enchanted Forest）简体中文版也已由后浪出版公司出版,她的第三本涂色书《迷失海洋》（Lost Ocean）简体中文版将在今年10月份和英文版同步上市。
