Haruki Murakami THE STRANGE LIBRARY Hardback

First UK edition third print hardback of THE STRANGE LIBRARY by Haruki Murakami (Translated from the Japanese by Ted Goossen) and published by Harvill Secker in 2014. Numberline is 4 6 8 10 9 7 5 3.

The book is in near fine condition (mock library pouch to front cover) with light rubbing to the corners of both boards and spine. No dust jacket as issued. Internally the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears or inscriptions.

On his way home from school, the young narrator of The Strange Library finds himself wondering how taxes were collected in the Ottoman Empire. He pops into the local library to see if it has a book on the subject. This was his first mistake.

Led to a special 'reading room' in a maze under the library by a strange old man, he finds himself imprisoned with only a sheep man, who makes excellent doughnuts, and a girl, who can talk with her hands, for company. His mother will be worrying about why he hasn't returned in time for dinner and the old man seems to have an appetite for eating small boys' brains. How will he escape?
