Product Information
Beautifully illustrated by renowned artist Eddie Campbell, this is a limited edition of Neil Gaiman's award-winning novelette "The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains" signed by Gaiman and Campbell. The text of The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains was first published in the collection anthology Stories: All New Tales edited by Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio. This gorgeous full-color illustrated book version was born of a unique collaboration between writer Neil Gaiman and artist Eddie Campbell, who brought to vivid life the characters and landscape of Gaiman's story. In August 2010, The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains was performed in the concert hall of the Sydney Opera House to a sold-out crowd--Gaiman read his tale live as Campbell's magnificent artwork was presented, scene by scene, on large screens. Narrative and art were accompanied by live music composed and performed especially for the story by the FourPlay String Quartet. This deluxe limited edition will have a beautiful clamshell case and vellum cover overwrap.Product Identifiers

ReviewsPoignant and heartbreaking, eloquent and frightening, impeccably rendered, it's a fable that reminds us how our lives are shaped by childhood experiences, what we gain from them and the price we pay., Original, engrossing, and endlessly inventive; a picaresque journey across America where the travelers are even stranger than the roadside attractions., Gaimain (Anansi Boys) has crafted a fresh story of magic, humanity, loyalty, and memories 'waiting at the edges of things,' where lost innocence can be restored as long as someone is willing to bear the cost., There is a stark simplicity in Mr. Gaiman's prose in this deceptively dark tale of how far men will go to achieve their heart's desire only to find that the achievement pales in comparison to the desiring., Part fable, part fairy tale and part cautionary tale, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is by turns hauntingly beautiful, painfully intense, funny, witty, wise, scary, and heart wrenchingly sad., A hybrid of folk tale and farce that freely partakes of the comic wealth in each, slipping effortlessly back and forth between them . . . Anansi Boys is Gaiman's tribute to [Anansi's] trickster spirit, as nimble and resourceful as his own imagination.
