"A sprawling 19th-century production, chock full of bizarre coincidences, multiple plot lines, lengthy digressions, and stories within stories. . . . An engaging and often affecting fable, a fairy tale that manages to be old-fashioned and modern all at once" (The New York Times). The first third of the novel was adapted into the film The Door in the Floor in 2004 starring Jeff Bridges and Kim Basinger.
