Anansi Boys
special hardback edition
A special hardback edition of Neil Gaiman's internationally bestselling novel with stunning new contemporary artwork by Monet Alyssa.
Fat Charlie Nancy never knew his dead dad was a god - Anansi the trickster. He never knew he had a brother either.
Now brother Spider is on his doorstep, about to make life more interesting . . . and a lot more dangerous.
It's a meeting that will take Fat Charlie from his London home to Florida, the Caribbean, and the very beginning of the world itself. Or the end of the world, depending on which way you're looking.
**Includes black and white chapter artwork, foiled and designed boards and beautiful full-colour illustrated endpapers by Monet Alyssa**
