'A is for Always, that's where we embark . . .' Two children, treasure map in hand, and their pet gazelle sneak past their father, out of their house, and into a world beneath the city, where monsters and pirates roam. A captivating, chilling, riot of an alphabet book, that is uniquely Neil Gaiman.

Description

A tale of adventure, piracy, danger, and heroism told in twenty-six alphabetical lines-although even the alphabet is not to be relied upon here.

Will the children find the treasure? Will they make it out alive? And will the alphabet ever be the same again?
