Nearly a century later, Joseph Jervis runs away from school and seeks refuge with an uncle in London. There, his family flourishes for generations as brilliant actors until 1900, when young Leontes Marvel is banished from the stage.
After surviving a shipwreck, he finds work in a London theatre. The journey begins on a ship at sea in 1766 with a boy named Billy Marvel. In this magnificent reimagining of the form he originated, two stand-alone stories-the first in nearly 400 pages of continuous pictures, the second in prose-together create a beguiling narrative puzzle.
