Won the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel (1982) and the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award (1971-1991) (1982). Also shortlisted or longlisted for 4 other awards.

John Crowley's Little, Big is the epic story of Smoky Barnable, an anonymous young man who travels by foot from the City to a place called Edgewood—not found on any map—to marry Daily Alice Drinkawater, as was prophesied. It is the story of four generations of a singular family, living in a house that is many houses on the magical border of an otherworld. It is a story of fantastic love and heartrending loss; of impossible things and unshakable destinies; and of the great Tale that envelops us all.
