** A MAJOR TIM BURTON FILM starring Ewan Mcgregor and Jessica Lange
** ** COMING SOON AS A MUSICAL starring Kelsey Grammer ** Do you
ever really know your father? Like many sons, William Bloom never
really knew his father. Edward told him stories too incredible to
believe about his exploits as a younger man, but any attempt to
find out serious truths have been met with laughter and brush-offs.
And that never mattered. But now Edward is dying, suddenly it
matters a great deal. So William sets out to tell his father's
story, as he imagines it. He tames a giant, is dragged by an
enormous fish through a lake and escapes a purgatory of lost
dreams. Through legends and myths, William makes Edward into a true
Big Fish. The much beloved book by Daniel Wallace is soon to be a
Christmas musical at The Other Palace in London. Praise for Big
Fish: 'Daniel Wallace has created a jewel in Big Fish' Winston
Groom, author of Forrest Gump 'Both comic and poignant' New York
Times 'An audacious, highly original debut novel. . . An
imaginative, and moving, record of a son's love for a charming,
unknowable father' Kirkus Reviews 'Refreshing, original. . .
Wallace mixes the mundane and the mythical. His chapters have the
transformative quality of fable and fairy tale' Publishers Weekly,
starred review
