The Night Library of Sternendach reads as a mixture of Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera — revolving around the library at Castle Sternendach, the Graf’s home.

Although the book works best as a program, The Artist’s Way can also be used as a reference book filled with exercises to complete anytime a little creative push is needed, and I think it is a great resource for educators.
