Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell

I don't typically write about fiction books I read but for Mr. Norell and Jonathan Strange I'm glad to make an exception.

It is a charming book, about the re-occurrence of magic in England in the 1800s and the adventures of two magicians involved. The author presents a fairy-like world with beautiful language and humor. Her descriptions of old London and the English society are fascinating.

This is the first book by Ms. Clark, and the story is waiting for a second book to follow-up in her beautiful world.
