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.

‘It’s virtually impossible to read more than ten words by Neil Gaiman and not wish he would tell you the rest of the story’ OBSERVER

‘A warm, funny, immensely entertaining story about the impossibility of putting up with your relations – especially if they happen to be Gods’ SUSANNA CLARKE

Publisher Review

To give him his full title: Neil Gaiman, Architect of Worlds, Svengali of Plot, Shaman of Character, Exploder of Cliche, Master Craftsman of Style, Dreamer, Laureate of the Republic of Letters -- David Mitchell Beyond all the borders that divide us, there is a place of infinite possibilities and pure magic. I think of Neil Gaiman as a writer who wears the key to that land around his neck - the key to Storyland -- Elif Shafak Gaiman is, simply put, a treasure-house of story -- Stephen King A god in the universe of story -- Stephen Fry A tonic for these turbulent times * Irish Times * Much too clever to be caught in the net of a single interpretation -- Philip Pullman Intimate, erudite and illuminating -- Guillermo del Toro While we might come to his writing for gods and monsters, actually all human life is here * Independent *
