The Stuff of Legend Book 3: A Jester's Tale Paperback – March 27, 2012

nice book

This is the third book in the Stuff of Legend series and it was a fabulous one. The drawings are fantastic and the story is incredible engaging.The Indian Princess has been stolen and the Jester is not pleased. He has to break free of the Jungle and evade the Boogeyman's minions to find her. Complicating things are a trip through a village of Dolls who are not as innocent as they seem and an evil twin that the Jester never knew made it into the Dark. As the original troupe of toys is separated you begin to wonder if they will ever find and save their boy.I love this series and this book didn't disappoint. The drawings are beautiful and cleverly done and totally in keeping with the tone of the story. I love just staring at the wonderful pictures, they are so well done.The story is getting epic in proportions and in this book follows a number of different storylines. This is done seamlessly and is so easy to follow that it is impressive. I highly recommend this to fans of fantasy graphic novels, or just fans of fantasy in general.This whole series has been like a cross between Toy Story and Brom's Plucker. It would definitely be too graphic and scary for younger children, but should be fine for middle grade and older. There is a lot of violence, but it is between toys.Overall an absolutely outstanding addition to the series. Now I need to wait for the next book and the wait is killing me!

It's an amazing series, and volume three is by far my favorite. The art is superb and the story is engaging, but the physical quality of the book itself is lacking. I have owned all three volumes and with each, the binding has come apart within the first week.Despite this obvious fault, I would still purchase this again. Even if it ends up as a loose pile of papers, it is still worth the price for a single read.

Me dejó sin palabras. No puedo decir nada más… no esperaba este final. Ahora si o si debo seguir leyendo.

Great addition to an already engrossing storyline. The Stuff of Legend is one of those graphic novels that catches you off guard with it's often profound story-telling and fully realized characters. I would highly recommend this book to any and all fans of fantasy, magic, and wonder.

Would LOVE to see this made into a movie with Guillermo Del Toro directing--can't wait for the next volume!! It is sort of like "Toy Story" meets "Seven Samurai". Very cool.

Great for all ages.

love it

I was not disappointed, The art and writing just seems to get better with each book, and this focuses mainly on the Jester character (who is easily my favourite). Deepening his back story and throwing in a surprise or two. I would recommend this to anyone (obviously I suggest you read Vol 1 & 2 first....) Simply said: I will read this again and can't wait for vol 4 to come out so I can continue the story! Fingers crossed I won't have to wait to long!

Next in this brilliant series of graphic novels
