“A brilliant, perceptive, and deeply moving fable.”
—
Boston Sunday Globe
Publishers Weekly
calls Gregory Maguire’s
Lost
“a deftly written, compulsively readable modern-day ghost story.” Brilliantly weaving together the literary threads of J.M. Barrie’s
Peter Pan
, Charles Dickens’s
A Christmas Carol,
and the Jack the Ripper stories, the bestselling author of The Wicked Years canon creates a captivating fairy tale for the modern world. With
Lost,
Maguire—who re-imagined a darker, more dangerous Oz, and inspired the creation of the Tony Award-winning Broadway blockbuster
Wicked
—delivers a haunting tale of shadows and phantoms and things going bump in the night, confirming his reputation as “one of contemporary fiction’s most assured myth-makers” (
Kirkus Reviews
).
