One Of The Best Modern Fantasy Novels Is Getting A Gorgeous Anniversary Edition

As a seasoned gamer and bookworm with a penchant for epic tales that blur the lines between reality and fantasy, I can confidently say that the upcoming 20th Anniversary Edition of Susanna Clarke’s masterpiece, “Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell,” has me thoroughly excited! Having delved into the enchanting world of this novel years ago, I can attest to its unique blend of historical fiction, magic, and wit that left an indelible mark on my imagination.


In 2004, Susanna Clarke’s unique blend of genres, “Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell,” was a literary phenomenon. It received numerous accolades, spending three consecutive months on the New York Times Best Seller list and earning numerous nominations for prestigious awards. Eventually, it won the Hugo Award for Best Novel (the highest honor in science fiction and fantasy), as well as the World Fantasy Award and Locus Award. This extensive work is brimming with grand concepts, and since its release, nothing quite like it has emerged.

As a gaming enthusiast who appreciates a good literary adventure, I can’t help but share the excitement about the upcoming 20th Anniversary Edition of “Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell”. If you haven’t experienced this captivating tale yet or are yearning for another journey into its enchanting world, now’s your chance!

Enthusiasts who have long admired Clarke’s initial novel can anticipate a double treat on its 20th Anniversary! On the same day, both the Anniversary Edition of the book and an illustrated short story titled “The Wood at Midwinter,” set within the same universe, will be published. This captivating tale is now available for pre-order in hardcover and ebook formats on Kindle. Moreover, a new paperback edition of “The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories,” a 2006 short story collection that takes place in the same world, will become accessible on October 22 as well. Indeed, Bloomsbury is pulling out all the stops to commemorate this milestone!

Hey there fellow gamer! If you’re a fan of magical tales intertwined with history, get ready to dive back into the enchanting world of Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. The much-anticipated reprint of The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories is on its way, packed with ten captivating fairytales that revolve around characters from the novel like our dear friend Jonathan Strange, as well as historical figures you’ll meet for the first time.

The sequel to Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke didn’t come out until 16 years following an exceptional debut, but the release of Piranesi in 2020 was definitely worth the wait. This novel, which has been praised by critics, tells the story of a man who resides in a house with countless halls and rooms. Alone in this seemingly endless labyrinth of a home, Piranesi interacts only with a person who visits him twice a week to discuss “A Great and Secret Knowledge.” Remarkably, Piranesi shares the same captivating quality as Clarke’s initial work, despite being significantly shorter at 272 pages. Once more, Clarke skillfully combines elements of fantasy and magical realism with a dash of psychological terror. Paperback copies of Piranesi can be found for $10, while hardcovers retail for $22.
