Description
A special hardback edition of Neil Gaiman's internationally bestselling novel with stunning new contemporary artwork by Monet Alyssa.
Anansi Boys is soon to be a highly anticipated television adaptation coming to Amazon Prime Video.
'Neil could never have known that he was writing for a confused Jamaican kid who, without even knowing it, was still staggering from centuries of erasure of his own gods and monsters' MARLON JAMES
---
Fat Charlie Nancy never knew his dead dad was a god—Anansi the trickster. He never knew he had a brother either.
Now brother Spider is on his doorstep, about to make life more interesting... and a lot more dangerous.
It's a meeting that will take Fat Charlie from his London home to Florida, the Caribbean, and the very beginning of the world itself. Or the end of the world, depending on which way you're looking.
Includes black and white chapter artwork, foiled and designed boards and beautiful full-colour illustrated endpapers by Monet Alyssa.

'It's virtually impossible to read more than ten words by Neil Gaiman and not wish he would tell you the rest of the story' OBSERVER
'A warm, funny, immensely entertaining story about the impossibility of putting up with your relations—especially if they happen to be Gods' SUSANNA CLARKE
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys is highly praised for its imaginative storytelling and rich character development. Esteemed writers such as David Mitchell and Elif Shafak admire Gaiman's mastery in creating magical worlds, while Stephen King and Stephen Fry regard him as a masterful storyteller. The Irish Times and Philip Pullman commend the book as both a reflective tonic for our times and a clever work open to multiple interpretations. Guillermo del Toro finds it intimate and enlightening, while the Independent highlights its exploration of both mythical and human aspects.
