The Spiderwick Chronicles Page #2

Wow.

Thats really...impossible.

Its late.

Just go to sleep.

Do not dare to read this book,

for if you take one fateful look,

you barter at your lifes expense

and face a deadly consequence.

What the...

How did you guys get out?

Dear reader,

what you now hold in your hands

is the culmination of a lifes work-

And you will soon see, as I have,

that there are fantastical creatures

living among us,

hidden through mimicry and magic-

This book will give you

the tools and techniques

needed to lift the veil

and see the unseen-

The secrets you are about to learn

have been kept hidden for ages,

secrets that many of this realm

would prefer to stay hidden-

The creatures you will meet

are truly a sight to behold,

and most of them do not

like being observed-

But, over time,

I have garnered their trust-

Some, I am quite happy to report,

I now call friend-

But a rare few are, quite frankly,

to be feared-

The darker forces of this realm

all live in service of one creature,

the ogre, Mulgarath-

The secrets herein are powerful,

more powerful than even I was aware-

Never before has knowledge

of the fantastical realm

been assembled in one tome-

And so I implore you, dear reader,

to use this information wisely,

for the ogre, Mulgarath,

seeks this knowledge

with relentless persistence-

If he were to obtain the information

in these pages,

I can assure you his intentions

would be of the vilest sort-

He assumes many forms,

and so you must constantly

be on guard-

I deeply fear that the more I learn,

the more I place everyone around me

in grave danger-

So, reader, beware-

I beseech you, beware-
