Description

From the internationally bestselling and prize-winning author of Piranesi and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, an enchanting, beautifully illustrated short story set in the world of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell.

'A church is a sort of wood. A wood is a sort of church. They're the same thing really.'

Nineteen-year-old Merowdis Scot is an unusual girl. She can talk to animals and trees-and she is only ever happy when she is walking in the woods.

One snowy afternoon, out with her dogs and Apple the pig, Merowdis encounters a blackbird and a fox. As darkness falls, a strange figure enters in their midst-and the path of her life is changed forever.

Featuring gorgeous illustrations truly worthy of the magic of this story and an afterword by Susanna Clarke explaining how she came to write it, this is a mesmerizing, must-have addition to any fantasy reader's bookshelf.

Editorial Reviews

"Clarke's imagination is prodigious, her pacing is masterly and she knows how to employ dry humor in the service of majesty." --The New York Times

"Nobody writes about magic the way Clarke does . . . She writes about magic as if she's actually worked it." --TIME Magazine

"[Clarke is] one of the greatest novelists writing today." --Vox

"Highly atmospheric, this winter tale is set in a wood and navigates the line between a Grimms' fairy tale and a feminist manifesto . . . Clarke's many fans will not be disappointed." --Library Journal

"Hugo Award winner Clarke enchants with this bite-size Christmassy fairy tale . . . The juxtaposition of thoughtful and sometimes unsettling atmospherics with quirky enjoyment delights. This is an ideal stocking stuffer." --Publishers Weekly

"A made-for-gifting book." --Kirkus Reviews
