Amazon Prime VideoWith magic long since lost to England, two men are destined to bring it back; the reclusive Mr. Norrell and daring novice Jonathan Strange. So begins a dangerous battle between two great minds.
The collection, presented as the work of several different writers, contains an introduction and eight fairy tales, seven of which had been previously anthologized.[1][2][3] The volume's focus on "female mastery of the dark arts" is reflected in the ladies of Grace Adieu's magical abilities and the prominent role needlework plays in saving the Duke. of Wellington and Mary, Queen of Scots.[4] The collection is a "sly, frequently comical, feminist revision" of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.[5] In tone, the stories are similar to the clear yet impassive narrator's voice of Jonathan Strange.[5].
Up until Mr. Norrell, a true magician and scholar, comes out into the world, setting off a chain of events involving Faeries, war, and the ‘Raven King’ that brings English Magic back into the world. Although the story is titled around Mr. Norrell and Jonathan Strange, another magician, the story truly concerns itself with a great many characters. Those influenced by magic, for good and for worse. Magic is used as a tool to illuminate Human nature. It is used for cold warfare, but leaves the user mentally scarred, and it also was used for political gains that creates much more trouble than ever expected.
