Live Project The First

The first book that we are doing for our live project is a reprint of George McDonald's 1882 fairy tale, The Day Boy and the Night Girl.
A boy and a girl, each imprisoned in a castle by the evil witch Watho. Photogen, exposed only to the sun, and Nycteris, familiar only with darkness. United by the dream of adventure and desire for freedom, they have a chance meeting one night. Together they must find a way to overcome their fear of the unknown and escape Watho. 
I'm not going to actually talk about the project on here, partially because I don't really want to keep checking with Marketing and Rights about what information can be made public, but you can follow our progress on the program's website. You can also check out (and like, if you are so inclined) our facebook page and our twitter (#DayBoyNightGirl). There was also a brief blurb written about our projects in Informed Edinburgh.

  1. It looks like a fascinating book, Kyra. Fairy tales lend themselves so well to great art. And what a plus to present girls in such a strong role. Good luck!
