'A church is a sort of wood. A wood is a sort of church. They're the same thing really.' Nineteen-year-old Merowdis Scot 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 gorgeous illustrations truly worthy of the magic of this story and an afterword by Susanna Clarke explaining how she came to write it, this is a mesmerizing, must-have addition to any fantasy reader's bookshelf.Review"Hugo award winning Clarke enchants with this bite-size Christmassy fairy tale . . .

This is an ideal stocking stuffer.” —Publishers Weekly “Clarke’s imagination is prodigious, her pacing is masterly and she knows how to employ dry humor in the service of majesty.” —The New York Times “Nobody writes about magic the way Clarke does . . . She writes about magic as if she’s actually worked it.” —Time magazineAbout the AuthorSusanna Clarke is the author of Piranesi, which won the Women’s Prize for Fiction, the Hugo Award–winning Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, and The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories.
