Smoky Barnable walks out of the City to Edgewood, the strange country house of the Drinkwater family, to marry Daily Alice. Edgewood appears on no map and is many houses folded into one, each larger than the last, standing on the shifting border of a hidden world of fairies whose slow, patient design shapes five generations of the family. Crowley follows the Drinkwaters across a century as they live inside a great Tale none of them can fully read, watching the world they know quietly give way to the older, stranger one at the edge of the garden.
