Steeped in English myth but dealing very much in the world of today, this is a book about language, family, England and art; a book to hold in your hand and savour. We spoke to Max about the book's genesis, its form and why the novel is still so radical. SIGNED editions of Lanny: https://bit.ly/2SxHt25 | Waterstones | Facebook
