Welcome to the Arabian Nights for our time–a lush and fantastical  epic guaranteed to spirit you away from the very first page . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Secreted away in a  garden, a lonely girl spins stories to warm a curious prince: peculiar feats and  unspeakable fates that loop through each other and back again to meet in the tapestry  of her voice. Inked on her eyelids, each twisting, tattooed tale is a piece in the  puzzle of the girl’s own hidden history. And what tales she tells! Tales of shape-shifting  witches and wild horsewomen, heron kings and beast princesses, snake gods, dog monks,  and living stars–each story more strange and fantastic than the one that came before.  From ill-tempered “mermaid” to fastidious Beast, nothing is ever quite what it seems  in these ever-shifting tales–even, and especially, their teller.  Adorned with illustrations  by the legendary Michael Kaluta, Valente’s enchanting lyrical fantasy offers a breathtaking  reinvention of the untold myths and dark fairy tales that shape our dreams.  And  just when you think you’ve come to the end, you realize the adventure has only begun….\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eIn the Night Garden\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Cathrynne Valente weaves layer upon layer of marvels in her debut novel. \u003ci\u003eIn the Night Garden \u003c\/i\u003eis a treat for all who love puzzle stories and the mystical language of talespinners.”\u003cb\u003e—Carol Berg, author of \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaughter of Ancients\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e“Fabulous talespinning in the tradition of story cycles such as The Arabian Nights.
