The redemptive power of stories and family is revealed in New York
Times bestselling author John Connolly's atmospheric tale set in the
same magical universe as the "enchanting, engrossing, and enlightening"
(The Sun-Sentinel, Fort Lauderdale) The Book of Lost Things.
"Twice upon a time--for that is how some stories should continue..."
Phoebe, an eight-year-old girl, lies comatose following a car
accident--a body without a spirit. Ceres, her mother, can only sit by
her bedside and read aloud the fairy stories Phoebe loves in the hope
they might summon her back to this world.
But an old house on the hospital grounds, a property connected to a book
written by a vanished author, is calling to Ceres. Something wants her
to enter, to journey to a land colored by the memories of childhood, and
the folklore beloved of her father--a land of witches and dryads, giants
and mandrakes; a land where old enemies are watching and waiting...
The Land of Lost Things.
