Voyages in the Underworld of Orpheus Black

Marcus Sedgwick, Julian Sedgwick

In London in 1944, a V2 rocket attack leaves Harry Black searching for his brother. A conscientious objector, Harry remains convinced that his brother is alive and looks for him amid the destruction of war. The illustrated novel places this search between the realities of World War II and a mythic landscape, reworking the Orpheus story through two brothers caught between life and death.
