Omtale fra forlaget
A special illustrated edition of Anansi Boys by bestselling storytelling legend, Neil Gaiman. A kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth that will thrill Games of Thrones devotees and Terry Pratchett fans alike. Illustrations by celebrated artist Daniel Egneus. 'Exhilarating and terrifying' - Independent If you need him, just tell a spider. He'll come running. Fat Charlie Nancy used to have a normal life. But that all changes the moment his estranged father drops dead in a karaoke bar, leaving a trail of chaos in his wake. Fat Charlie didn't know his dad was a god. He certainly didn't know he was Anansi the trickster spider-god, lord of rebellion and disorder. He didn't know he had a brother, either. Now his brother, Spider, is on his doorstep trying to take over his life, flat and fiancee. And Fat Charlie's going to have to resort to something drastic - and dangerous - to get back on track.

Her postcard from Nanking told him that she certainly didn't like what passed for Chinese food in China, and that she couldn't wait to come back to London and eat proper Chinese food.
Songs remain. They last. The right song can turn an emperor into a laughing stock, can bringdown dynasties. A song can last long after the events and the people in it are dust and dreams are gone. That's the power of songs.
In reality the world is made of thousands upon thousands of groups of about five hundred people, all of whom will spend their lives bumping into each other, trying to avoid each other, and discovering each other in the same unlikely teashop in Vancouver.
He had a fine voice, and an excellent smile, and feet that twinkled when he danced.
