Fully illustrated and beautifully designed, this is a unique and
wonderfully creepy tale that is sure to delight Murakami fans. 'All
I did was go to the library to borrow some books'. On his way home
from school, the young narrator of The Strange Library finds
himself wondering how taxes were collected in the Ottoman Empire.
He pops into the local library to see if it has a book on the
subject. This is his first mistake. Led to a special 'reading room'
in a maze under the library by a strange old man, he finds himself
imprisoned with only a sheep man, who makes excellent donuts, and a
girl, who can talk with her hands, for company. His mother will be
worrying why he hasn't returned in time for dinner and the old man
seems to have an appetite for eating small boy's brains. How will
he escape? 'The best novelist on the planet' Observer
