Nine dazzling stories from the beloved, bestselling author of The
Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
The stories that make up The Pier Falls take many forms--Victorian
adventure, science fiction, morality tale, contemporary realism--but
they are united by the talent and empathy that have made Mark Haddon a
household name. Lyrical and uncompromising, these tales span from
England to Mars, ancient Greece to the deepest Amazon. Drawing
inventively from history, myth, folklore, and modern life, The Pier
Falls reveals a previously unseen side of the celebrated author.
