A haunting, lyrical tale that blends childhood memory with mythic magic. Neil Gaiman delivers a fairy tale for grown-ups: eerie, tender, and timeless.
When a middle-aged man returns to his childhood village for a funeral, he's drawn back to a mysterious pond at the end of the lane—and the unforgettable Hempstock women who once protected him from ancient, otherworldly forces. As past and present blur, he confronts buried truths, lost innocence, and the enduring power of stories. This beautifully crafted novel explores the way childhood shapes us and the magic that exists just beyond the edges of memory.
Ideal for fantasy readers, literary fiction collectors, and fans of poetic, emotionally resonant storytelling. Gaiman's prose is both accessible and profound, creating a story that lingers in the heart long after the final page.
