At his childhood home for a funeral, our narrator walk down the lane to visit a girl he knew when he was a child. His memories of Lettie Hempstock, who had been eleven to his seven, are a bit confused now. But as he walks and reminisces about his time in this place with his family, we get a picture of a lonely and sad childhood. At first anyway. As he recalls more about Lettie, the opal miner's suicide, and the thing that called itself Ursula Monkton, the story gets otherworldly and scary. A short, but really wonderful book, wistful, nostalgic, magical and terrifying. And the audio is read by Gaiman.
