John Crowley's masterful Little, Big is the epic story of Smoky Barnable, an anonymous young man who travels by foot from the City to a place called Edgewood—not found on any map—to marry Daily Alice Drinkwater, as was prophesied. It is the story of four generations of a singular family, living in a house that is many houses on the magical border of an otherworld. It is a story of fantastic love and heartrending loss; of impossible things and unshakable destinies; and of the great Tale that envelops us all. It is a wonder.

Suggest ‘Little, Big’ by John Crowley. A multilayered fable which I was reminded of by ‘The Overstory.’ It’s one of those odd books that is not widely known but has had an outsized influence on many creators.
