520    "In the small Tuscan town of Collodi, a lonely woodcarver 
       longs for the companionship of a son. One day, "as if the 
       wood commanded me," Giuseppe--better known as Geppetto--
       carves for himself a pinewood boy, a marionette he hopes 
       to take on tour worldwide. But when his handsome new 
       creation comes magically to life, the woodcarver screams 
       at him . . . and the boy, Pinocchio, leaps from his arms 
       and escapes into the night. Though he returns the next day,
       the wily boy torments his father, challenging his 
       authority and making up stories--whereupon his nose, the 
       very nose his father carved, grows before his eyes like an
       antler. When the boy disappears after one last fight, the 
       father follows a rumor to the coast and out into the sea, 
       where he is swallowed by a great fish--and consumed by 
       guilt, as he hunkers in the creature's belly awaiting the 
       day when he will reconcile with the son he drove away. 
       With all the charm, atmosphere, and emotional depth for 
       which Edward Carey is known--and featuring his trademark 
       fantastical illustrations--The Swallowed Man is a parable 
       of parenthood, loss, and letting go, from a creative mind 
       on a par with Gregory Maguire, Neil Gaiman, and Tim 
       Burton"--|cProvided by publisher.
