Magic, madam, is like wine and, if you are not used to it, it will make you drunk. 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.

Una serie de cuentos que ocurren en el mismo universo que Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, incluso con personajes que ya aparecieron en la novela. Con distintos tonos, a veces más humorísticos, otras más angustiosos, es volver a la magia en formato pequeño. Imprescindible si te gusta la autora, o los cuentos de hadas clásicos con un puntillo siniestro.
