This blog lists the introductory pages for , and . These pages were only included in their respective books, and weren't transferred to later editions like the stories themselves. Similarly to the single-page stories from the 2007 reprints, these are rare, and most people don't have access to some/all of them.


Far far away, jutting out into the emptiness beyond, like the figurehead of a mighty stone ship, is the Edge. There are many who inhabit its various landscapes; from the trolls, trogs and goblins of the perilous Deepwoods, to the phantasms and spectres of the treacherous Twilight Woods. The main town is Undertown, a seething urban sprawl which straddles the Edgewater River. Above it — fixed in position by the great …

Questions for Paul Stewart

NOTE THAT THIS Q&A IS NOW OVER AND NEW QUESTIONS WILL NOT BE ANSWERED


The Edge Chronicles Facebook have announced that they will be having an interview with Paul Stewart about The Descenders. In this post, we can compile our best questions for him.

  • Will we get any more information about the Midwood Decks or Riverrise in The Descenders?
  • About how long do you imagine that the First Age of Flight lasted?
  • What was there before the Mire? If it's now grassland, was it like that as well before the Undertownders dumped their toxic waste there? Or was it a forest?

In the 2007-2013 editions of The Edge Chronicles (the ones with the newer Chris Riddell covers, showing a single character), the first page of each book had a short story where it expanded on a background character.

These are currently only available in that edition of the series, but Paul Stewart kindly gave me the drafts. Each of these stories was also accompanied by the characters' face…

  • Vilnix - Abandoned in the Undertown Sewers
  • Quint - His mother died when he was 3
  • Maris - Her mother died in childbirth, father died when she was 15
