Fragile Things

Let Me tell you a Story.No, wait, one's not enoughI'll begin again...Let me tell you stories of the months of the year, of ghosts and heartbreak, of dread and desire. Of after-hours drinking and unanswered phones, of good deeds and bad days, of trusting wolves and how to talk to girls.There are stories within stories, whispered in the quiet of the night, shouted above the roar of the day, and played out between lovers and enemies, strangers and friends. But all, all are fragile things made of just 26 letters arranged and rearranged to form tales and imaginings which will dazzle your senses, haunt your imagination and move you to the very depths of your soul.Praise for the weird and wonderful world of Nell Gaiman'Extraordinary, complicated, hilarious, melancholy and terrifying' Independent'Immensely entertaining... combines the anarchy of Douglas Adams with a Wodehousian generosity of spirit' Susanna Clarke'Bizarre, bonkers... rather brilliant' Ian Hislop'Nell Caiman is a star. He constructs stories like some demented cook might make a wedding cake, building layer upon layer, including all kinds of sweet and sour in the mix' Clive Barker
