Harlequin Valentine

About this book

A modern, magical love story! Those who haves spent Valentine's Day alone are aware that the cold February holiday can be hard to swallow. Award-winning creators Neil Gaiman (American Gods) and John Bolton (Books of Magic) want you to know that all it takes is a steak knife, a fork, and a bottle of quality ketchup...In this contemporary retelling of a classic Commedia dell'arte legend of tomfoolery and hopeless, fawning love, Gaiman and Bolton update the tale of Harlequin and Columbine. A magical buffon burdened with a brimming heart, Harlequin chases his sensible, oblivious Columbine around the city streets, having given his heart freely. Consumed with love, the impulsive clown sees his heart dragged about town, with a charming surprise to bend the story in a modern direction.
