Every story has a beginning... but some go back even farther. 
Join the residents of Pelican Town in the year leading up to the new farmer's arrival in Stardew Valley. This 144-page graphic novel, lovingly written and illustrated by the talented Chihiro Sakaida, follows the lives of the villagers through the ups and the downs, the disappointments and the celebrations... as well as the arrival of the Joja Corporation. 
This adorable 5.5 x 8.5 inch hardcover graphic novel features:

  • A woodgrain-style cover with embossing and gold foil.
  • Gentle creme-colored paper with brown ink for a natural look.
  • Bilingual (English / Japanese) dialogue throughout the entire story.
  • The inside of the dust jacket doubles as a poster of the cover illustration!
  • Included in each copy of the book is a hand-sealed letter from Grandpa with embossed Pelican Town seal sticker, along with a beautiful illustration of your new farmhouse!

Each page is chock full of little details that really bring the story and the valley to life. We recommend taking time with each page as you read, to make sure you don't miss anything!

Michael ★★★★★

The art in this is gorgeous, way better than I expected for a tie-in comic. Getting to see the year before the farmer shows up made me care about the townspeople in a whole new way. 144 pages went by too fast.

Thomas ★★★★★

I didn't expect a 144-page prequel to make me this emotional, but the way it fills in the year before the new farmer shows up had me hooked by chapter three. Getting to see the townsfolk's lives before everything changes gave the whole valley a weight I wasn't ready for.

Evelyn D. ★★★★★

The artwork really captures the cozy feel of Pelican Town, and seeing the residents’ lives before the farmer arrives adds so much depth. I tore through all 144 pages in one sitting.
