Bloomsbury presents Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke, read by Richard Armitage with Neil Gaiman and an introduction by V E Schwab.

The 20th anniversary edition of the fantasy classic.

‘The book I wish I'd written’ R F Kuang
‘Susanna Clarke writes with an intelligence and beauty that seems at times miraculous’ Katherine Rundell

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

This is easily my favorite book written in the last 25 years. And this audio production is a masterpiece on every level. The book itself is so well written, gripping, mysterious, deep, and funny that I can’t stop thinking about it. I go to bed at night hoping I’ll dream about the world. It’s long but I wish it had been twice its length, I was so caught up in the world. This audio version just takes things to the next level with Neil Gaiman reading the footnotes.
I pray that Clarke will find the strength to write another novel length story set in this world.
My highest recommendation.

A masterpiece of the new century.
