Product Description
Studious by nature, fortunate to have been present at the most glorious moments in the tree's recent history, and above all honored to count as friends its most ardent champions, I, Otulissa, have decided to write a compendium, a catchall -a guide, in short- to the history, life, and spirit of the tree. Pause a moment before the next adventure begins to read of its natural history, its origin, and yearly changes. Read of its lesser-known heroes: of Joss, brave messenger of legends; of the brothers Ifghar and Ezylryb and the treachery that bound them; of Theo, the peaceful warrior.
Learn of Gylfie, Digger, and Twilight's lives before they came to the tree. Read tales of Strix Struma, Uglamore, Trader Mags, and others. Many are the adventures still unsung! And many the brave deeds unheralded! Read of ages lost and dark; of strange ailments infecting the tree itself. Learn the feasts and holidays celebrated under moon and sun. Scan the maps, study the drawings, sample the recipes! Dear reader, though you be distant from The Great Tree, lift this tome to your eyes and learn what it is to be a Guardian!

I bought the set for my grandson. He loves these books. This is the one that got the most excited comment because it is the guide book.
 A great resource for Ga'Hoolians everywhere! October 19, 2007

I picked this book up from my local bookstore, expecting more of a reference book than a story book, and it far surpassed my expectations. While still full of interesting facts such as how the chaws are organized and what they teach, it also has short stories about many of the characters readers of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole will have become familiar with through the series.
I had hoped to start a Guardians of Ga'Hoole roleplaying game, and this will be perfect in helping me introduce my gaming friends to the Hoolian world.
If you like companion books, this is the book for you. As short as it is for an older reader, it is a book I could read again and again.
