類型	Fantasy 奇幻小說
內容簡介	Science Fiction Book Club『過去五十年間最優秀的科幻奇幻小說，1953－2002』
	描述一個美國家庭與仙境的長期接觸，包容了從塔羅牌到電視機，從松頓·伯格斯式動物語言到生動愛情故事等各種元素。這本書不但再次展現了作者在早期小說《深淵、野獸和引擎的夏天》中所表現出來的藝術水準，甚至還有超越之處，更為他奠定了抒情奇幻( lyrical fantasy )大師的地位。
	John Crowley's masterful 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. It is a story of fantastic love and heartrending loss; of impossible things and unshakable destinies; and of the great Tale that envelops us all. It is a wonder. About the Author John Crowley is the recipient of an American Academy of Arts and Letters Award for Literature. He lives in the hills above the Connecticut River in northern Massachusetts with his wife and twin daughters. His critically acclaimed works include DÆmonomania, Love & Sleep, Ægypt, The Translator, and, most recently, Lord Byron's Novel: The Evening Land.
