![]() In order to get back, he must go find The Book of Lost Things, which is currently held by the King.ĭo you know what this book reminded me of?Īlthough Brave Story draws on the tropes in RPG games and The Book of Lost Things draws on the dark tradition of the original fairy tales, at its core, both of these stories are stories of loss and the need for the protagonist to grow up. One day, the Crooked Man comes and David is led into another land. While Rose tries to make an effort to connect with David, his anger and grief turns into hatred towards her and his new half-brother, George. Things rapidly deteriorate after David mother’s dies and his father quickly moves on with a woman named Rose. As she slowly declines from her illness, David develops what some of us may recognise as OCD. The Book of Lost Things starts with David losing his mother. ![]() ![]() ![]() Younger-me loved this book and current-me can totally see why – this is a poignantly written story about growing up, wrapped up in the fantasy and dark reality of fairytales (although a part of me wonders how I even found this book at such a young age!). ![]()
