'In a magnificent feat of sustained imaginative writing, Okri spins a tale that is epic and intimate at the same time. The Famished Road rekindled my sense of wonder. It made me, at age 50, look at the world through the wide eyes of a child'
Michael Palin

'This is a book to generate apostles. People will be moved and, with stars in their eyes, will pass on the word'
Time Out

'Ben Okri is incapable of writing a boring sentence'
