Never heard of him before.  The Amazon.com description of Little Big sounds
more like GG Marquez:

John Crowley's masterful *Little, Big* is the epic story of Smoky Barnable,
an anonymous young man who travels by foot from the City to a place called
Edgewood—not found on any map—to marry Daily Alice Drinkawater, as was
prophesied. It is the story of four generations of a singular family,
living in a house that is many houses on the magical border of an
otherworld. It is a story of fantastic love and heartrending loss; of
impossible things and unshakable destinies; and of the great Tale that
envelops us all. It is a wonder.
