Product Description
"Starbook" tells the tale of a prince and a maiden in a mythical land where a golden age is ending. Their fragile story considers the important questions we all face, exploring creativity, wisdom, suffering and transcendence in a time when imagination still ruled the world. A magnificent achievement and a modern-day parable, "Starbook" offers a vision of life far greater than ourselves.

Editorial Reviews
Observer
'A book that consistently operates on many levels of meaning ...Here is a prose with a tender tread, alive to human frailty. [Okri] seduces the reader with a rapt recounting of the infinite within the particular'
Sunday Herald
'The language of [Okri's] story is simple, courtly, timeless, childlike, beautiful ... What he has created, however, is a unique and beguiling world of his own imagining'
London Magazine
'Welling up through this book is a sense of the sheer mystery of life, of story, of beginnings and endings ...Each phrase is pregnant with possibility and magic'
