Little, Big – John Crowley (1981)

A family saga that slowly reveals itself to be about fairies. Real ones. Not cute, not kind — ancient and haunting.<br />Crowley’s Little, Big feels like an enchanted labyrinth built out of sentences. You never know where you are, but you never want to leave. It’s literary, melancholy, and quietly transcendent — a book about how magic hides in plain sight, and how humans keep walking past it.
