Like her earlier novel “Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell” I really, really enjoyed these stories by Susanna Clarke, which in some cases dealt further with themes brought up in the far longer work. I felt that each story was interesting, with styles very well evocative of their 19th (or in some cases earlier) century literary inspirations, complete with footnotes. Each takes the theme of faeries and, in very different ways, show the often times strained relationships between the “sidhe” and humanity, often in very folkloric ways. As a lover of folklore, I especially enjoyed this, as well as the extra time spent in Clarke’s vision of a magical 1800s world. In some ways, I would say that I would recommend these stories in particular to people interested in “Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell” but unsure as to whether they would enjoy the style enough to read 782 pages.
