Crowley¿s work has a special alchemy - mixing the world we know with an imagined world which seems more true and real. Winner of the World Fantasy Award, Little, Big is eloquent, sensual, funny and unforgettable, a truly Fantasy Masterwork.

Tight and feels very lightly read. Text block nice and square, a touch of light toning to edges, top edge slightly more pronounced with a few very feint spots.Book grades near fine condition. Lovely white jacket (price £8.95) has light creasing to the foot of the rear panel, also grades near fine. This book is fitted with a non adhesive archival quality book protector to make a quality addition to your collection. Note we do not use stock images, the book pictured is the book described. A very attractive and solid copy of this highly regarded title, winner of the World Fantasy Award in 1982 (and nominated for all the major genre awards that year). A complex novel, set at the start of the 20th century, an architect discovers worlds within worlds that are reflected in the house he builds - perhaps one of the first urban fantasy novels to gain recognition, thus the story is hard to explain. Lauded by many significant authors and critics. A difficult book to find in this condition, that looks super on the shelf in the fitted archival cover. Seller Inventory # 007620

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1st ed/1st printing, SIGNED by the author on the title page. This book is square, solid, and plausibly unread; the boards are solid and unblemished. The sides of the pages have a cinnamon-dusting of foxing, mainly to the tops, and this has carried over a bit to the flaps of the dust jacket which is, externally, gorgeous and unmarked and in a protective Brodart cover. No price clippings, no remainder marks. You'll feel as though you've been wandering over the hills and far away, beyond the fields we know, through faery lands forlorn, once you have this book in your hands!. Signed by Author(s). Book.
