Finally back in print and for the first time in hardcover, the novelization of The Dark Crystal, adapted by A. C. H. Smith and personally overseen by Jim Henson, features an exclusive peek into Jim Henson's creative process with over twenty never-before-seen pages of his detailed notes on an early draft of the adaptation. This beautiful hardcover includes illustrations and concept designs by legendary illustrator and concept artist Brian Froud (The Goblins of Labyrinth, Faeries) that have never been published.
