Description

Beautifully illustrated, and full of warmth, wit and joyful witchy magic - this utterly charming new graphic novel series is sure to bring you under its spell, and is perfect for fans of Kiki's Delivery Service, Witches of Brooklyn, and cosy, funny fantasy like The Hatmakers.

Ever since their mum died, free-spirit Elfie and her teen sister, Magda, have been stuck living with their extremely grumpy aunt in boring suburbia.

That is until their older sister, Louette, arrives to rescue them in her London bus-come-travelling-bookshop, and whisks them away to freedom, and adventures travelling around France!
Elfie is delighted to be reunited with all her sisters - especially when Louette reveals that their mother left them all special gifts. Elfie's is a notebook, which she fills with stories - just like her mum used to do.
Only it turns out, the notebook isn't a notebook. It's a grimoire - a witch's spellbook! And when Elfie writes her stories in it, magic come to life . . .

Now Elfie must work out how to use her magic for good - and help solve a mystery which has torn a small village in Northern France apart.

In Elfie's second adventure, Elfie, Louette and Magda arrive in their book-bus in Gonerbes, a sun-baked village in Provence. They are visiting Alistair Kinloch, a writer who was once a friend of their mother. But Alistair can no longer write. His typewriter has been stolen, and with it, his inspiration.

Now it's up to Elfie to investigate! Who would want to harm Alistair, and why? At least Elfie can to count on the help of a little bit of magic, thanks to her helpful grimoire…

Full of joy, mischief, family and friendships - as well as magic, of course - Elfie's adventures are sure to cast a spell on all her readers!
About Audrey Alwett | Christophe Arleston | Mini Ludvin
Christophe Arleston began his career as a journalist, then became a playwright for France Inter radio, before turning to graphic novel writing in the early 1990s. He then created series in a variety of styles, from humorous crime stories to medieval fantasy adventures. In 1994, he achieved widespread success with Lanfeust de Troy , a series illustrated by Didier Tarquin, which blends adventure, fantasy, and humor. Several best-selling series followed, and in 2019, he co-founded the publishing house Drakoo. There, he co-wrote the script for Le Grimoire d'Elfie (illustrated by Mini Ludvin) with Audrey Alwett, which was an immediate success. Christophe Arleston has sold over 15 million books to date. When the biology faculty rejected her ambitious "unicorn rat creation" program, Mini steered her studies towards drawing. A compulsive reader raised on European and Japanese comics from a very young age, she completed a course in Animation Cinema at EMCA in Angoulême, then entered the wonderful world of animation in Parisian studios. With 10 years of experience in animated film, she decided in 2015 to return to her first loves: children's illustration and comics. Since then, she has illustrated several series of children's novels and works regularly for children's magazines, always ready to bring to life worlds full of fantasy and humor. Anam Zafar is an award-winning literary and commercial translator working from Arabic and French into English. She specialises in literature, environment, international development and politics.
