Like many sons,  William Bloom  never really knew his father.  Edward  told him stories too incredible to believe about his exploits as a younger man, but any attempt to find out serious truths have been met with laughter and brush-offs. And that never mattered. But now Edward is dying, suddenly it matters a great deal.   So William sets out to tell his father's story, as he imagines it. He tames a giant, is dragged by an enormous fish through a lake and escapes a purgatory of lost dreams. Through legends and myths, William makes Edward into a true  Big Fish.  The much beloved book by Daniel Wallace is soon to be a Christmas musical at The Other Palace in London.
