The Wood at Midwinter

The Wood at Midwinter

Susanna Clarke - Engels - Hardback

From the internationally bestselling and prize-winning author of Piranesi and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, an enchanting, beautifully illustrated short story set in the Strange universe.

‘A church is a sort of wood. A wood is a sort of church. They’re the same thing really.’

Nineteen-year-old Merowdis Scott is an unusual girl. She can talk to animals and trees – and she is only ever happy when she is walking in the woods.

One snowy afternoon, out with her dogs and Apple the pig, Merowdis encounters a blackbird and a fox. As darkness falls, a strange figure enters in their midst – and the path of her life is changed forever.

Featuring an introduction by Susanna Clarke and gorgeous illustrations truly worthy of the magic of this story, this is a mesmerizing, must-have addition to any fantasy reader’s bookshelf.
