THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE - NEIL GAIMAN ...

#1 New York Times Bestseller UK National Book Awards Book of the Year ?Fantasy of the very
best.??Wall Street Journal A groundbreaking work as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as
menacing as a knife in the dark  The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare
understanding of all that makes us human  and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter
us from the darkness inside and out. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend
a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone  he is drawn to the farm at the end of
the road  where  when he was seven  he encountered a most remarkable girl  Lettie Hempstock 
and her mother and grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades  and yet as he sits by
the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse where she
once lived  the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange  too
frightening  too dangerous to have happened to anyone  let alone a small boy. ?[Gaiman's] mind
is a dark fathomless ocean  and every time I sink into it  this world fades  replaced by one
far more terrible and beautiful in which I will happily drown.? ?New York Times Book Review
