| Plot Summary of Little, Big |
|---|
"Little, Big is a story of six generations living in Edgewood. Edgewood is a place that is on no map and has a house containing magical secrets of its residents past and present. The story goes back and forth between many characters and tells the "Tale" of the family. There are fairies causing mischief and a deck of tarot cards predicting the family's future. Crowley's writing is exceptional and the story moves along easy making the reader eager to put the scattered pieces together."
Kristy Pastore, Resident Scholar
