New York: Houghton Mifflin:, 2003. First edition, Hardcover, Fine in Fine dust jacket, 207 pp. Cover artwork by: Bradford Foltz An as new copy. First edition, Hardcover, Fine in Fine dust jacket,

pp. 207. Small 8vo. Black hardcovers, silver lettering to the spine. Black-and-white photographs, illustrations throughout. Near fine and housed in near fine dustjacket. A fairy tale for our times about the worlds we inhabit and the worlds we contain, from the astonishing new voice who introduced us to the strange and marvellous world of Observatory Mansions. Alva and Irva Dapps are identical twin sisters. They live in the city of Entralla, not a place you are likely to have visited. Alva is by nature an explorer; she longs to travel the world. Irva is a recluse, for whom a step outside the house is an ordeal. But the twins belong together--they feel each other s feelings, think each other s thoughts, suffer together, love together and hate together--they cannot survive without each other. Since childhood, the twins have built fantastical cities of Plasticine. But when Irva finally refuses to leave the house at all, the major work of their lives begins. Alva, attempting to return Irva to life, brings the city of Entralla into their home; she wanders its streets, observing, taking notes, measuring, and reports her findings to Irva, who painstakingly constructs a miniature Entralla of Plasticine. And the model city comes to serve Entralla in a way its creators could never have imagined. In Alva & Irva, Edward Carey takes the reader on an enchanting journey through a city of the imagination, with unforgettable heroines whose conflicting desires contain the seeds of both their destruction and their salvation.
