Freddy's Book

245, [3] pp. 8vo. Jacket art and text illustrations by Daniel Biamonte. "'Combines the fascination of a fairy tale... with beautifully defined characters and an underlying seriousness of purpose that makes it something far more important... Freddy's Book is the work of a master storyteller.' —Anne Tyler. In a gloomy mansion in Madison, Wisconsin, a sheltered and sensitive young man slips a visiting professor his secret manuscript—a staggering and beautiful fantasy of knights, knaves, and fools, a rich tale of timeless battles with the devil himself over power and destiny."
