<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Thomas Abbey doesn't know what he wants in life, or in his relationship with the intense Saxony Gardner. Nothing in his life has touched him so deeply, though, as the magical children's novels of Marshall France, who died at 44. Thomas and Saxony arrive in France's hometown in Missouri to write his biography, and slowly begin to see that the magic of Marshall France extends far beyond the printed page.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Have you ever loved a magical book above all others? Have you ever wished the magic were real? Welcome to <i>The Land of Laughs.</i> A novel about how terrifying that would be. <p/>Schoolteacher Thomas Abbey, unsure son of a film star, doesn't know who he is or what he wants--in life, in love, or in his relationship with the strange and intense Saxony Gardner. What he knows is that in his whole life nothing has touched him so deeply as the novels of Marshall France, a reclusive author of fabulous children's tales who died at forty-four. <p/>Now Thomas and Saxony have come to France's hometown, the dreamy Midwestern town of Galen, Missouri, to write France's biography. Warned in advance that France's family may oppose them, they're surprised to find France's daughter warmly welcoming instead. But slowly they begin to see that something fantastic and horrible is happening. The magic of Marshall France has extended far beyond the printed page...leaving them with a terrifying task to undertake.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Jonathan Carroll is a cult waiting to happen." --<i>Pat Conroy</i> <p/>"<i>The Land of Laughs</i> is a book for anyone who has ever believed that a favorite book could be a safe place to go when things get hard." --<i>Neil Gaiman</i> <p/>"I envy anyone who has yet to enjoy the sexy, eerie, and addictive novels of Jonathan Carroll.
