Playful and profound, they explore the world we think we know whilst offering a vision of another world which lurks just beneath the surface of our consciousness, a world where the myths we have banished from our lives are startlingly present and where imagination has the power to transform reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Charlene and Trudi, obsessively making lists while bombs explode softly in the streets outside, to gormless Eddie, maniacal cataloguer of fish, and Meredith Zane who may just have discovered the secret to eternal life, each of these stories shows that when the worlds of material existence and imagination collide, anything is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57550658273662,"sku":"NW9780552771054","price":9.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780552771054.jpg?v=1783118312","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/not-the-end-of-the-world-1","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
