Little, Big 40th Anniversary Edition

/ By / , ,

As you can see, I have received my long-awaited 40th Anniversary Edition of John Crowley’s Little, Big. When I originally placed the order for it back in 2005, it was known as the 25th Anniversary Edition, but then, complications ensued, and for a while it was touch-and-go as to whether it would ever materialize.

It was worth the wait. The finished book is a work of art that my Android phone photos can’t hope to do justice to. For a closer look at the interior, there’s a pdf of the first chapter on the Little, Big website, here. The illustrations are by Peter Milton, whose website and portfolio can be found here.

If you’d like to get a copy for yourself, you’re in luck—though the lettered and numbered editions sold out long ago, unsigned trade editions are still available here.

And even if you have no interest in a collector’s edition, I would absolutely recommend checking out the novel, in whatever format you can get your hands on. Crowley is an enormously gifted storyteller who has been a huge influence on my own writing, and Little, Big, the book that introduced me to him, remains one of his finest works.
