Over 4 million copies sold

1806. England is beleaguered by the long war, and centuries have passed since magicians faded from view. But one remains: the reclusive Mr Norrell. Proceeding to London, he raises a woman from the dead and summons an army of ghostly ships to terrify the French.

Yet the cautious Norrell is challenged by the emergence of another magician. Young, handsome and daring, Jonathan Strange is his very antithesis. So begins a dangerous battle between these two great men – which overwhelms that between England and France. And soon their own secret dabblings with the dark arts are going to cause more trouble than they can imagine…

'Like Hilary Mantel, Clarke has made the very notion of genre seem quaint' Guardian

Susanna Clarke (Nottingham, 1959) is a British writer known for her distinctive approach to historical fantasy. Her literary debut, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (2004), blends magic and realism in an alternative 19th century England. The novel was an international success, selling over four million copies and earning awards such as the Hugo and the World Fantasy Award. In 2006, she published The Ladies of Grace Adieu, a collection of stories set in the same magical universe.

After a period of inactivity due to chronic fatigue syndrome, Clarke returned in 2020 with Piranesi, a novel that explores solitude and identity in a labyrinthine world. The work was critically acclaimed and won the Women's Prize for Fiction in 2021. Clarke continues to be an influential figure in contemporary fantasy literature, noted for her evocative style and her ability to merge the magical with the historical.
