"Crowley crafts images and scenes that are exceptionally vivid. A joy to revisit" - Goodreads Reviewer

"This is a marvellous book. Well written, well researched and based on the most intriguing historical facts" - Amazon Reviewer

In the 1970s, an historian named Pierce Moffett moves to the New England countryside to write a book about Ægypt, driven by an idea he dare not believe: that wondrous and magical powers once governed the universe; that the physical laws of this universe once changed and may yet change again.

The notion is not his alone. Something waits at the locked estate of Fellowes Kraft - author of romances about Will Shakespeare and Giordano Bruno and Dr. John Dee - something for which Pierce and those near him have long sought without knowing it: a key, perhaps, to Ægypt...

John Crowley was born in Maine in 1942 and grew up in Vermont, Kentucky and Indiana before moving to New York and taking up work in documentary films - an occupation he still pursues alongside his writing. THE DEEP, his first science fiction novel, was published in 1975 and was followed by BEASTS, ENGINE SUMMER and GREAT WORK OF TIME. With the publication of LITTLE, BIG in 1981 he won the WORLD FANTASY AWARD and was shortlisted for the HUGO, NEBULA and BSFA AWARDs.
