'A brilliantly creepy coming of age novel' Daily Mirror 'A moving
fable, brilliantly imagined, about the agony of loss and the pain
of young adulthood' The Times 'This is no saccharine fairytale, but
an eerie fable that's perfect for long winter nights' Daily Mail
This illustrated edition includes two new short stories -
Cinderella, A Version and The Rat King, the latter introducing the
Crooked Man who is central to the world of The Book of Lost Things
- and an afterword from the author. 'Once upon a time, there was a
boy who lost his mother . . .' As twelve-year-old David takes
refuge from his grief in the myths and fairytales so beloved of his
dead mother, he finds the real world and the fantasy world begin to
blend. That is when bad things start to happen. That is when the
Crooked Man comes. And David is violently propelled into a land
populated by heroes, wolves and monsters in his quest to find the
legendary Book of Lost Things.
