From little beginnings: the extraordinary story of a singular, diminutive crumb of a servant girl turned entertainment mogul.
PRAISE FOR LITTLE
'Don't miss this eccentric charmer!' - *MARGARET ATWOOD*
'An exquisitely disturbing treasure of a novel. Sensual, unassumingly poignant, hilarious, heartbreaking, cruel, joyous: Edward Carey's LITTLE is a triumph and one of the most intoxicating novels I've read.' - Sarah Schmidt, author of SEE WHAT I HAVE DONE
PRAISE FOR EDWARD CAREY
'Delightful, eccentric, heartfelt, surprising, philosophical' Eleanor Catton, author of The Luminaries
'Iremonger torques and tempers our memories of Dickensian London into a singularly jaunty and creepy tale of agreeable misfits. Read it by gas lamp, with a glass of absinthe at your wrist and a fireplace poker by your knee.' -- Gregory Maguire, author of WICKED
'Conveyed with so much sympathy and acute observation that it is hard not to be beguiled' The Times
'Carey writes with such persuasive authority, and we are inclined to believe him' New York Times Review of Books
'Edward Carey is one of the strangest writers we are privileged to have in this country' Observer
'A story wondrous fine, full of terrors and marvels.' Kirkus, Starred Review
'Edward Carey is an enormously talented writer' Publishers Weekly
'If this were music, Carey would be Eric Satie. If it were film, he would be Tim Burton' Newsday
'It's hard to imagine a better subject for Edward Carey's particular genius than the life of Madame Tussaud' Charles Lambert
