A true modern classic from John Crowley, recipient of the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters Award and one of the most important and daring novelists at work today. "I always regularly reread a book that I wish more people would read: Little, Big. It is literally the most enchanting 20th-century book I know." - Harold Bloom
John Crowley's masterful Little, Big is the epic story of Smoky Barnable, an anonymous young man who travels by foot from the City to a place called Edgewood--not found on any map--to marry Daily Alice Drinkawater, as was prophesied. It is the story of four generations of a singular family, living in a house that is many houses on the magical border of an otherworld. It is a story of fantastic love and heartrending loss; of impossible things and unshakable destinies; and of the great Tale that envelops us all. It is a wonder.
