Selected as one of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'. From Booker Prize winner Ben Okri, a deceptively simple modern fable with an ancient origin.

'A modern day classic' Evening Standard 'Beautiful. A new creation myth' Daily Telegraph 'Amazing. I think this is as close as you can get to reliving the experience of a bedtime story' Guardian
