Description

In the drowned valley of Little Slaughter, a miniature library has been lost, and Whilbert Stroop, missing-persons finder, has been asked to locate it. His search leads him, and the family he's adopted as his own, on to the east, where the island archipelago of Saareema has been beset by animal mutilation, piracy, and murder

About the Author

Clio was born in Yorkshire, spent her later childhood in Devon before returning to Yorkshire to go to university. For the last twenty five years she has lived in the Scottish Highlands where she intends to remain. She eschewed the usual route of marriage, mortgage, children, and instead spent her working life in libraries, filling her home with books and sharing that home with dogs. She began writing for personal amusement in the late nineties, then began entering short story competitions, getting short listed and then winning, which led directly to a publication deal with Headline. Her latest book, The Anatomist s Dream, was nominated for the Man Booker 2015 and long listed for the Bailey s Prize in 2016. Surprisingly, Gray says, The Anatomist s Dream - although my eighth published novel - was amongst the first few stabs I made at writing a book. Pretty appalling in its first incarnation (not that I thought it at the time!) it was only when I brushed the dust off it a few years ago that I realised there really was something interesting and unusual at its core that I could now, as a more experienced writer, work with. The moral being: don t give up. The more you write, the more self-critical you become and the better your writing will be because of it. Clio has always been encouraging towards emergent writers, and founded HISSAC (The Highlands and Islands Short Story Association) in 2004 precisely to further that aim, providing feedback on short listed stories and mentoring first time novelists, not a few of whom have gone on to be published themselves. It s been a great privilege to work with aspiring writers, to see them develop and flourish, Gray says. There can never be too many books in the world, and the better the books the better place the world will be.
