Publisher's Summary
The celebrated modern classic from the number one best-selling writer.
THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD 'BOOK OF THE YEAR'
AN ACCLAIMED WEST END THEATRE PRODUCTION
This is what he remembers, as he sits by the ocean at the end of the lane:
A dead man on the back seat of the car and warm milk at the farmhouse.
An ancient little girl and an old woman who saw the moon being made.
A beautiful housekeeper with a monstrous smile.
And dark forces woken that were best left undisturbed.
They are memories hard to believe, waiting at the edges of things. The recollections of a man who thought he was lost but is now, perhaps, remembering a time when he was saved....

Magical and imaginative!
I love stories that aren’t linear or seem offbeat! Neil Gaiman plunged me in to a truly captivating world of weird and wonderful. The creatures I found imaginative and terrorfying and Letty was such a beautiful enigma to our little protagonist’s seven year old mind. I loved the wonder and discovery of the journey! And having Neil Gaiman narrate his own work was a treat to the ears!

Into the Ocean!
This is a great read and I highly recommend it to you. It is compellingly authentic because the writer has put bits of himself into it and it is easy to tell which bits; they resonate so strongly. His style of narration is engaging and unpretentious, like a funny friend telling you a story. There is lots of magic and plenty of scary bits but for me what Gaiman does best is illuminate human relationships and help you to see why people do the things they do. What I liked most about this story is that it made me feel that it was ok, after all, to prefer reading a book to going to a party. If you read the novel you will see what I mean.
