'Once upon a time, there was a boy who lost his mother . . .' As twelve-year-old David takes refuge from his grief in the myths and fairytales so beloved of his dead mother, he finds the real world and the fantasy world begin to blend. That is when bad things start to happen. That is when the Crooked Man comes. And David is violently propelled into a land populated by heroes, wolves and monsters in his quest to find the legendary Book of Lost Things.

Industry Reviews

What gives THE BOOK OF LOST THINGS such a chilling edge is the way the real and illusory worlds sit so comfortably together. - Daily Express

Brilliantly creepy coming of age novel - Daily Mirror

A powerful, powerful writer. I got a very real chill down my spine. This is an amazing book. - Jeffery Deaver

The book's epic villainy, mournful tone and tested morality is the essence of Connolly . . . THE BOOK OF LOST THINGS is peculiar and perverse and humane, with an incredibly lyrical finale. - Irish Times

Charming, disturbing and outrageously imaginative. A tremendously exciting change of pace.

Tension, terror and gallows humour make the book a gripping read. - Daily Mail

Connolly imagines the emotional cave-in of puberty intelligently, even perceptively - Guardian

This is no saccharine fairytale, but an eerie fable that's perfect for long winter nights - Daily Mail
