Summary

Summary

“Twice upon a time—for that is how some stories should continue…”

Phoebe, an eight-year-old girl, lies comatose following a car accident—a body without a spirit. Ceres, her mother, can only sit by her bedside and read aloud the fairy stories Phoebe loves in the hope they might summon her back to this world.

But an old house on the hospital grounds, a property connected to a book written by a vanished author, is calling to Ceres. Something wants her to enter, to journey to a land colored by the memories of childhood, and the folklore beloved of her father—a land of witches and dryads, giants and mandrakes; a land where old enemies are watching and waiting…The Land of Lost Things.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“This dark fairy tale…speaks volumes about a mother’s devotion…Readers may well wonder what some of the action has to do with reuniting the mother and child, but mom doesn’t lose sight of her goal. A feat of imagination that will please Connolly’s fans.” Kirkus Reviews
