The Worlds
The World of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
An England with magic in its weather and its footnotes.
The novel, the short stories and the new work share one country: an England where magic was once ordinary, then lost, then troublesomely recovered.
Connections between the titles are drawn only where they are supported by the books and their publishers. Nothing here invents lore.
