Aw, I should have sent it to you in the book swap!

I think you'd very much enjoy it actually. I'll see if I can wrangle it off of my book case later.

I love big rambling books.

My favourite novel ever is Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. And my favourite non-fiction book is Peter Ackroyd's London.

I therefore have no problem with the big doorstop Potter books.



Ooh! Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell is in my top three books! Have you read Susanna Clarke's short stories set within the same world, 'The Ladies of Grace Adieu'? I also have a radio short story she did about a Sphinx in an attic, which is pretty wonderful.

Faeries are frankly terrifying. AS THEY SHOULD BE.

No. I have the limited signed hardback in a slip case... but I can't find it!
