Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke

Bloomsbury Publishing / —
Enter the dazzling world of nineteenth century magicians fighting Napoleon’s advancing army — and fighting between themselves…
The year is 1806. England is beleaguered by the long war with Napoleon, and centuries have passed since practical magicians faded into the nation’s past. But scholars of this glorious history discover that one remains: the reclusive Mr Norrell whose displays of magic send a thrill through the country. Proceeding to London, he raises a beautiful woman from the dead and summons an army of ghostly ships to terrify the French.
Yet the cautious, fussy Norrell is challenged by the emergence of another magician: the brilliant novice Jonathan Strange. Young, handsome and daring, Strange is the very opposite of Norrell. So begins a dangerous battle between these two great men which overwhelms the one between England and France. And their own obsessions and secret dabblings with the dark arts are going to cause more trouble than they can imagine.

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke

Bloomsbury Publishing / —
The international bestseller, reissued with a striking new illustrated cover with a new introduction by Neil Gaiman.
Part of The Bloomsbury Phantastic series — three books tracing the tradition of fantasy from Edgar Allan Poe to Neil Gaiman and Susanna Clarke.
Susanna Clarke’s novel is an epic tale of nineteenth-century England and the two magicians who emerge to change its history. In the year 1806, in the midst of the Napoleonic Wars, most people believe magic to have long since disappeared from England — until the reclusive Mr Norrell reveals his powers and becomes a celebrity overnight. Another practising magician emerges: the young and daring Jonathan Strange. He becomes Norrell’s pupil and the two join forces in the war against France. But Strange is increasingly drawn to the wildest, most perilous forms of magic and soon he risks sacrificing not only his partnership with Norrell, but everything else he holds dear.

The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories - Susanna Clarke

Bloomsbury Publishing / —
Faerie is never as far away as you think. Sometimes you find you have crossed an invisible line and must cope, as best you can, with petulant princesses, vengeful owls, ladies who pass their time embroidering terrible fates or with endless paths in deep, dark woods and houses that never appear the same way twice. The heroines and heroes bedevilled by such problems in these fairy tales include a conceited Regency clergyman, an eighteenth-century Jewish doctor and Mary, Queen of Scots, as well as two characters from «Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell»: Strange himself and the Raven King.
