Best Selling Author Bringing 'The Land Of Lost Things' To Doylestown

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Internationally bestselling author of the Charlie Parker thrillers series, John Connolly, will visit Doylestown as part of his U.S. book tour for "The Land of Lost Things: A Novel" (The Book of Lost Things No. 2) at The Doylestown Bookshop on Wednesday, September 20 beginning at 6 p.m.

Connolly is the author of the No. 1 internationally bestselling Charlie Parker thrillers series, the supernatural collection, "Nocturnes," the Samuel Johnson Trilogy for younger readers, and (with Jennifer Ridyard) the "Chronicles of the Invaders" series. He lives in Dublin, Ireland.

In his new book, the redemptive power of stories and family is revealed in Connolly’s atmospheric tale set in the same magical universe as the “enchanting, engrossing, and enlightening” (The Sun-Sentinel, Fort Lauderdale) "The Book of Lost Things."

Phoebe, an eight-year-old girl, lies comatose following a car accident—a body without a spirit. Ceres, her mother, can only sit by her bedside and read aloud the fairy stories Phoebe loves in the hope they might summon her back to this world.

But an old house on the hospital grounds, a property connected to a book written by a vanished author, is calling to Ceres. Something wants her to enter, to journey to a land colored by the memories of childhood, and the folklore beloved of her father — a land of witches and dryads, giants and mandrakes; a land where old enemies are watching and waiting.
