The Ocean at the End of the Lane

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman — UK National Book Awards “Book of the Year.”

Returning to his childhood home to attend a funeral, a middle-aged man is drawn back to a place once alive with monsters and magic — to a past where the impossible is all too frighteningly real.

A haunting meditation on memory, wonder, friendship, and sacrifice, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is a groundbreaking triumph of storytelling — “as delicate as a butterfly’s wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.” Named “a novel about the truths — some wonderful, some terrible — that children know and adults do not” by Time Magazine.
