Little, Big is the epic story of Smoky Barnable, an anonymous young man who travels by foot from the City to a place called Edgewood—not found on any map—to marry Daily Alice Drinkawater, as was prophesied. It is the story of four generations of a singular family, living in a house that is many houses on the magical border of an otherworld. ''A book that all by itself calls for a redefinition of fantasy'' (Ursula K. Le Guin). "A literate, touching and unassuming masterpiece" (Barron).
