Jones and the hero of her classic children's fantasy books. Jeremy does not want to discuss his childhood; he has forgotten it, he has changed his name to Jerry, and he has not spoken to his mother in many years. But he finds his memories returning when strange events seem to indicate that the Adventures of Jeremy in Neverwas weren't fantasy. He, Ruth, and Ruth's daughter Gilly sink ever deeper into a terrifying underworld, pursued by the villainous Barnaby Sattermole, by Sattermole's monomaniacal archenemy Sneath, and by the relentless Shadow Committee, a secret conspiracy at least as old as human history.<p> In <I>Dark Cities Underground</I>, American Book Award winner Lisa Goldstein reveals and explores the connections among the worlds of Narnia and Never-Never Land, the Wind in the Willows and Wonderland, myth and legend. But don't read <I>Dark Cities Underground</I> as an escapist secondary-world adventure; that will lead to disappointment, because this novel is about the nature and meaning of otherworlds, and not about disappearing into them. This fine modern fantasy is also about archetypes, childhood, growing up, loyalty, immortality, death, and love. <I>--Cynthia Ward</I> 915118 1999 Dark Cities Underground total:61|5:9|4:22|3:23|2:5|1:2| 61 214 85 10 3 0 false false Sat May 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue May 26 17:45:51 -0700 2009 Tue May 26 17:45:51 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Mar 03 14:42:59 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 07 09:00:40 -0800 2008

Okay, wait, Lisa Goldstein is not (as far as I can tell) a Gaiman ripoff. Don't think that.
