In For A Pond
Gaiman’s book drew on an incident in his father’s life: a lodger stole his car, and then was found dead inside.
DESCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR as an exploration of “the disconnect between childhood and the story of 11-year-old Alex’s youthful friendship with the enigmatic Letty Hempstock, who claims a duck pond is actually an ocean – has now been turned into a play. Its scriptwriter Joel Horwood suggests that it is the 2013 novel’s central theme of “faith, in the purest sense of the word” that makes it eminently suitable for the stage.
