The Ladies of Grace Adieu
Here’s a nice collection of short stories by Susanna Clarke who wrote “Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell” which won the Hugo for best novel in 2005. Like “Strange…” it’s written a pseudo-19th century style that was great fun. It was also illustrated by Charles Vess which is always a treat.
Presented as a collection of historical faery tales, each one was a treat and I poured through the book in no time. I broke down and bought the hardback. It has nice heavy paper with cut edges and is a book I just like to hold.
