Nick Cave To Publish Children’s Book, ‘The Little Thing’

It follows "a little thing that goes on an epic adventure to discover the true nature of its identity," Cave says

Nick Cave is publishing a children’s book, The Little Thing.

Set to be made available later this week, the book, Cave has said in a statement, tells the story of "a little thing that goes on an epic adventure to discover the true nature of its identity." It was originally written for his three-year-old neighbour, with Cave later adding his own illustrations to the story. The book itself includes those illustrations, while Cave has also narrated and provided music for the audiobook alongside Warren Ellis. Find more information about the book here.

Narayana Press will publish The Little Thing on November 15, 2021.
