'For readers who want to be entertained, but not at the cost of good writing, The Storyteller and his Three Daughters is the best kind of novel - exquisitely crafted prose, fully developed, believable characters, well-researched historically - and above all, a gripping plot' The Sydney Morning Herald

TOKYO 1884: Sei has devoted his life to storytelling, captivating audiences with his tales. But now he is starting to wonder if the new world has left him behind.

Just when he thinks he will never write again, his own life and the lives of the people around him begin to spiral out of control - providing the inspiration for the greatest story he has ever told. A story of love, jealousy, intrigue, and betrayal.

Set against the background of Japan's first incursions into Korea, Sei offers a wise and witty reflection on the nature of storytelling, its perils and delights, its lies and, ultimately, its truth.

PRAISE for the Tales of the Otori books and Blossoms and Shadows, also by Lian Hearn:

'a tour de force of pure storytelling' The Sydney Morning Herald

'intelligent, accomplished, audacious and finely written' The Age

'uniquely charming, flowing and seductive' The Courier-Mail

'beautifully crafted' The Herald Sun
