About the book: 2007 / Fairyland is not as far from us as is commonly thought. The moment you cross the invisible line, be prepared to confront (to the best of your ability) daring princesses, vengeful owls and ladies who spend their leisure time embroidering terrible disasters. Prepare to wander through disappearing paths in deep forests and enter houses that you can only enter once. Similar challenges faced by the heroes and heroines of these stories - a smug Regency cleric, an eighteenth-century Jewish doctor, a Scottish queen, and the characters in Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell" - to Strange himself and the Raven King.
