Craig's fourth novel. Named one of the best books of 2001 by The Times. An exploration of the interplay between fairy-tales and manic depression as an out-of-work actor stumbles upon a long-forgotten book of folk tales his mother had once put together. A leading proponent of the social novel, in the manner of Anthony Trollope, Honoré de Balzac and Charles Dickens, Craig's books tend to be interlinked by common characters and themes, thus constituting a novelistic sequence. "The greatest novelist under the age of fifty has now stepped onto the stage." –A.N. Wilson, Evening Standard
