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, and begins his quest to find the legendary Book of Lost Things.

Brilliant
I couldn’t have loved anything more…dreamy and dark and yet beautiful…just like being lost in a dream that you can’t wake. Highly recommend.

A heartfelt fairytale about growing up and living life
A beautiful told book that feels like a dark fairytale. it takes a while to get going but when it does ... it's incredible. Some very dark scenes that little children would find scary but this is a book with a wonderful message about growing up and life itself. I can see how The Boy and the Heron was inspired by this. 10/10!!!

What a narration!
It was hard to get into the book at first but a few chapters in I was hooked. The narrators voice made the story come to life I hung on every word. Enjoyed this book so much!

The Book of Lost Things.
A beautiful story.
One I'm sure I will read again & definitely recommend to others - especially those fond of faerie tales & fantasy. Was sad to come to the end of the book.

Slow moving, unoriginal and humourless…
Considering the hilarity that is Connolly’s “The Gates”, this fell flat. The story borrows too heavily from traditional stories/tropes and Rawlinson’s overly earnest reading is at times excruciating. Perhaps for Connolly fans familiar with his adult work vs this might be considered “fantasy”, but for those familiar with the genre, it’s just boring. I finished but only just…
