The Blurb:
Susanna Clarke returns with an enchanting collection brimming with all the ingredients of good fairy tales: petulant princesses, vengeful owls, ladies who pass their time in embroidering terrible fates, endless paths in deep, dark woods, and houses that never appear the same way twice. The heroines and heroes who must grapple with these problems include the Duke of Wellington, a conceited Regency clergyman, an eighteenth-century Jewish doctor, and Mary, Queen of Scots, as well as Jonathan Strange and the Raven King.

I just finished reading Inkspell so am in a fairy-story reading mood. Thank you so much for sending this book to me! I hope to get to it during the holiday break, when I will have some good quality reading time. :-)
