Roderick Townley

Roderick Townley's first book about Sylvie, The Great Good Thing, was a Top-Ten Book Sense Pick, praised by Kirkus Reviews as utterly winning...a book beloved from the first page. Its sequel, Into the Labyrinth, was hailed by the New York Times as a hopping fine read. The present volume completes the Sylvie cycle.

Mr. Townley has also published the novel Sky, described by VOYA as one hell of a book, as well as volumes of poetry, nonfiction, and literary criticism. He has two children, Jesse and Grace, and is married to author Wyatt Townley.
