Editor's Notes

The Ladies of Grace Adieu transports readers once more to the beguiling world of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, where magic has returned England. Whimsical and macabre, these eight stories weave fact with fairytale in a collection described as Grimms' Fairy Tales rewritten by Jane Austen.

Illustrated throughout by the legendary fantasy artist Charles Vess, this Folio Book is bound in sumptuous red cloth and blocked in gold with a design that features John Uskglass, the enigmatic Raven King. It is housed in a slipcase with a beautiful wraparound illustration of owls. Inside, Vess's original black-and-white chapter title illustrations are joined by eight newly commissioned colour plates – one for each story – along with new title-page and half-title artwork.

Synopsis

Step carefully – you may already have crossed into Faerie. In these sly, subversive stories from the world of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Susanna Clarke conjures a place where the everyday is forever brushing shoulders with the uncanny. A clergyman learns the perils of pride. A band of needle-wielding ladies stitch spells into their seams. Mary, Queen of Scots faces enchantments far stranger than politics. And in the shadowy glades of the Raven King’s realm, nothing is quite as it seems.

Told with wry humour and gothic flair, these tales are elegant in style but brimming with strange magic – think Jane Austen with a dash of folk horror. Whether you're meeting Jonathan Strange again or venturing in for the first time, this collection casts a bewitching spell of its own.
