This stunning new colouring book by Johanna Basford takes readers on a inky quest through an enchanted forest to discover what lies in the castle at its heart. As well as drawings to complete, colour and embellish, there are hidden objects to be found along the way including wild flowers, animals and birds, gems, lanterns, keys and treasure chests. Beginning at the entrance to the forest, the journey progresses through woodland, rocky caves and tree-lined mazes, over streams and a waterfall, across the trees tops, to finally reach the castle. Also hidden throughout the book are nine symbols. Readers must find all the symbols to unlock the castle door at the end of the quest and discover what lies within.

喬漢娜·貝斯福(Johanna Basford)，英國著名插畫傢，2005年畢業於鄧迪大學藝術與設計學院(Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design)織物圖案設計專業。她擅長以黑白二原色勾勒齣炫酷的作品。她不僅能從大自然中獲得創 作靈感，更能以各式各樣飾品、織物為藍圖，創作齣精美絕倫的作品。在創作理念方麵，她堅信電腦製造的圖案是冰冷的、沒有內在靈魂的，因此她在創作的過程中從不使用電腦。她曾與索尼、星巴剋、絕對伏特加和愛丁堡藝術節閤作。目前工作和生活於蘇格蘭阿伯丁郡。

本書是她的第一本手繪塗色書，她的第二本塗色書《魔法森林》（Enchanted Forest）簡體中文版也已由後浪齣版公司齣版，她的第三本塗色書《迷失海洋》（Lost Ocean）簡體中文版將在今年10月份和英文版同步上市。
