LITTLE, BIG • RARE FIRST EDITION REVIEW COPY, 1981 • JOHN CROWLEY • VG • Fantasy

Description: Here is the Rare First Edition, First Printing Review Copy of Little, Big, published in 1981 by Bantam Books, in Very Good Condition. Little, Big was first published as a paperback original. Our edition preceded the UK first edition from Victor Gollancz, a hardcover, by a year. Another thirteen years passed before Little, Big was issued in the US as a hardcover. Book: Publisher’s wrappers, bright. Very Good. Internally clean and unmarked. Clean text block with the usual toning. Two small creases on the rear wrapper—one on each corner. Otherwise, an excellent first edition review copy, perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman, Susanna Clarke, and Lewis Carroll. Little, Big is the epic story of Smoky Barnable, an anonymous young man who travels by foot from the City to a place and a home called Edgewood — not found on any map — to marry Daily Alice Drinkwater, as was prophesied. It is the story of four generations of a singular family, living in a house that is many houses on the magical border of an otherworld. It is a story of fantastic love and heartrending loss; of impossible things and unshakable destinies; and of the great Tale that envelops us all. We’ve been fascinated for years by Edgewood—a house made of houses within houses made of time—and how inside it seems much larger than it is, or smaller than it looked, it’s difficult to tell which. Not a year goes by where we don’t spend some time there. “If you know how to read, the World of Books is open to you, after all; and if you like to read, you’ll read. If you don’t, you’ll forget whatever anybody makes you read, anyway.”
