The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz

RELEASED 25/03/2021

Jachin-Boaz is a maker and seller of maps. In his shop are maps that will lead you to whatever it is you most desire: love, inspiration, wealth. But his greatest achievement is a master-map showing the location of everything that has ever been found in the world, which he intends to give to his son, Boaz-Jachin. There is only one thing missing from the map: lions - for there are no more lions left. Or are there? When Jachin-Boaz sets out on a quest to find a lion for his son, Boaz-Jachin will follow in search of his father, and both will discover something wholly unexpected...

Reviews

  • Magic at work ... Funny as well as beautiful.

    Irish Times

  • Amazingly, the mythology is sustained in totally modern terms, desolate, comic and urban.

    Time Out

  • A piece of invention as original as any of Tolkien's or C.S. Lewis's.

    New Statesman

  • Mr. Hoban is unclassifiable, thank goodness. His narrative is so minutely and compellingly realistic that after a time you cease to notice that he has stood reality on its head.
