Free Country A Tale Of The Childrens Crusade

A long time ago, I wrote the first part of a story, and waited to find out
how it middled, then worked with Jamie Delano and Alisa Kwitney on the end. For
years people have asked how and when they could read all the story of The
Children's Crusade. I'm glad to say that it's now been retooled and refinished,
and is something both old and new - a forgotten jewel and a new delight."-Neil
Gaiman
For the first time ever, the two-issue miniseries THE CHILDREN'S
CRUSADE, written by Neil Gaiman, Alisa Kwitney and Jamie Delano, is collected -
and with them, a new chapter written by Toby Litt that completes the tale as
Gaiman originally envisioned it.
When several children go missing in a
small English town, the Dead Boy Detectives are on the case. A series of strange
and unexpected twists takes them to Free Country, a place that dates back a
millennium, where children never grow old and are free from the abuse and
tyranny of adults. But Free Country is failing, and what it needs is the
strength of five innately powerful children - including the young sorcerer
Timothy Hunter - to restore their uncanny world to what it once was.
