Selznick, Brian,

The Marvels / [book] - First edition. - 665 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm

Told in two stand-alone stories, the first nearly 400 pages of continuous pictures, and the second in text.

In 1766, a boy, Billy Marvel, is shipwrecked, rescued, and goes on to found a brilliant family of actors that flourishes in London until 1900--and nearly a century later, Joseph Jervis, runs away from home, seeking refuge with his uncle in London, and is captivated by the Marvel house, with its portraits and ghostly presences.
