Swallowed Man, The

Carey, Edward NEW title  A NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS' CHOICE   "A strange and tender parable . . . All of Edward Carey's work is profound and delightful." --Max Porter, author of Lanny The ingenious storyteller Edward Carey returns to reimagine a time-honored fable: the story of an impatient father, a rebellious son, and a watery path to forgiveness for the young man known as Pinocchio. With all the charm, atmosphere, and emotional depth for which Edward Carey is known--and featuring his trademark fantastical illustrations-- The Swallowed Man is a parable of parenthood, loss, and letting go, from a creative mind on a par with Gregory Maguire and Tim Burton.
