A boxed set collection of five iconic novels by Neil Gaiman:
Neverwhere. Stardust. American Gods. Anansi Boys. The Ocean at the End of the Lane.
Nominated for numerous awards and beloved by readers around the world, Neil Gaiman's masterful tales are gathered together for an unforgettable literary journey. This box set offers a blend of fantasy, mythology, and tantalising storytelling unmatched in contemporary literature. With his signature blend of wit, wisdom, and wonder, Gaiman opens doors to worlds that linger long after the final page has turned.
Neverwhere: Beneath the bustling streets of London exists a shadowy underworld filled with forgotten people, impossible creatures, and unexpected enchantments. When Richard Mayhew helps a mysterious girl named Door, he is thrust into this dark and thrilling 'London Below', where danger and adventure await at every turn.
Stardust: In the village of Wall, young Tristran Thorn ventures into the magical land of Faerie to retrieve a fallen star for his beloved Victoria Forester. But Tristran soon discovers that the world beyond his town is rife with perilous enchantments, fierce guardians, and quests that will test the courage of his heart.
American Gods: A monumental road trip across the American landscape unfolds as Shadow Moon, recently released from prison and bereaved by his wife's tragic death, encounters the enigmatic Mr. Wednesday. Drawn into an epic war between the ancient gods of mythology and the modern gods of technology and media, Shadow's journey is both mysterious and revelatory.
Anansi Boys: For Charles "Fat Charlie" Nancy, an unremarkable life in South London turns extraordinary after his father's sudden death reveals a legacy of trickery, magic, and divine mischief. As Fat Charlie meets his estranged brother Spider, he is dragged into a cosmic rivalry where the bounds of reality are utterly transformed.
The Ocean at the End of the Lane: Returning to his childhood home for a funeral, a middle-aged man is drawn to a farm where he discovers a forgotten past. Through the recollections of his seven-year-old self, he confronts ancient forces, haunting memories, and the almost forgotten magic that once saved his life.
"To give him his full title: Neil Gaiman, Architect of Worlds, Svengali of Plot, Shaman of Character, Exploder of Cliché, Master Craftsman of Style, Dreamer Laureate of the Republic of Letters" DAVID MITCHELL
"Beyond all the borders that divide us, there is a place of infinite possibilities and pure magic. I think of Neil Gaiman as a writer who wears the key to that land around his neck - the key to Storyland" ELIF SHAFAK
