Page 70 of Little, Big


  —James Hynes, Boston Review

  “[A] supernal work of artifice and magic.”

  —The Commercial Appeal (Memphis)

  “A work of considerable originality. A luminous sense of wonder flickers throughout the book.”

  —Wall Street Journal

  “Richly allusive, beautifully written, and mysteriously affecting…. This is the story of an American family that has a special relationship with fairies…. [But the book] has more in common with Bellefleur or One Hundred Years of Solitude than it does with Peter Pan.”

  —New York Newsday

  “This book is indescribable: a splendid madness, or a delightful sanity, or both. Persons who enter this book are advised that they will leave it a different size than when they came in.”

  —Ursula K. Le Guin
