The beloved wordless fantasy graphic novel series reaches its stunning conclusion -- with plenty of thrills, laughs, and exquisitely illustrated animal magic.
Christian Slade spent his childhood dreaming of creating a unique book series that was told silently through detailed ink drawings. Korgi is the realization of that dream. He has also worked on numerous projects including children's books, animated films, and theme park designs. For over a decade, he has been the monthly illustrator for the ongoing Ricky and Pals story, starring Ranger Rick as a young racoon, in National Wildlife Federation's Ranger Rick Jr. magazine. Christian currently lives in Florida with his wife, Ann, and their twins, Kate and Nate.

it. Korgi hits every note perfectly, and can hook readers
all across the spectrum with its tantalizing suspense and
action.... The art is spectacular." — School Library

so cute!!!’” — Publishers Weekly’s "The Beat"

Disney animator, and it shows in his spirited and expressive
characters whose facial expressions and poses leave no need for
words.” — Library Journal
