Author's 2nd novel following his debut with 'Grief Is The Thing With Feathers.'
Visually,the external appearance is exceptional,and particularly internally,is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation for a book of it's 15-year-old age.It is only the minimal faults described that prevent a slightly higher grading overall.Despite that,it really is still an exceptional,exemplary example for it's brightness,cleanliness and lack of other or age-acquired detracting faults commonly encountered in a book of comparable age. Not far from London,there is a village.
This village belongs to the people who live in it and to those who lived in it hundreds of years ago.It belongs to England's mysterious past and its confounding present.It belongs to Mad Pete,the grizzled artist.To ancient Peggy, gossiping at her gate.To families dead for generations, and to those who have only recently moved here.But it also belongs to Dead Papa Toothwort,who has woken from his slumber in the woods.Dead Papa Toothwort,who is listening to them all.
Chimerical,audacious,strange aand wonderful - a song to difference and imagination,to friendship,youth and love,Lanny is the globally anticipated new novel from Max Porter. The novel centres on the newly awakened presence of the fabled Green Man character,named Dead Papa Toothwort,and his relationship with the villagers, especially a whimsical young boy named Lanny,the eccentric new kid in town.Lanny is an old soul,sensitive and deeply connected with nature.
