With Clarke's characteristic historical detail and diction, these <u class="showmore_hide">dark, enchanting tales unfold in a slightly distorted version of our own world, where people are bedeviled by mischievous interventions from the fairies. With appearances from beloved characters from her novel, including Jonathan Strange and Childermass, and an entirely new spin on certain historical figures, including Mary, Queen of Scots, this is a must-have for fans of Susanna Clarke and an enticing introduction to her work for new listeners.</u><span class="showmore_showlink">… (<a href="#" onclick="showMore('u_727561f5');">more</a>)</span></div class="" ></td></tr></table></div><div id="workpagesort_10" class="quickedit light flipped"><div class="nav"><div class="sectionhead_rbutcontainer"><span style="font-size:9px;font-weight:normal;"><a value="all members" value="all members" class="func_lt2_display_ui lt2button btn ltbtn-button-float-right btn-tiny btn-default" type="button" role="button" href="/work/1363050/members/" ><span class="btntxt">all members</span></a></span></div><span class="navInfoTitle"><span class="divotBig" onclick="LibraryThing.work.handleSectionHide(this, 'members', 'u_14a716fc', '0');"><span class="chdivot" style="font-size:9px;vertical-align:bottom;">▼</span></span>Members</span><span class="sectionTitleST"></span></div><div class="qelcontent" id="u_14a716fc" style="display:block;"><table class="wstable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td class="label memberlistLabel"><span style="white-space:nowrap;text-align:right;">Recently added by</span></td><td class="wide memberlistvalue" id="u_3d8e84ac"><a href="/profile/Ingelef">Ingelef</a>, <a href="/profile/Nirleth">Nirleth</a>, <a href="/profile/magruderjc">magruderjc</a>, <a href="/profile/webcraftandwitchery">webcraftandwitchery</a>, <a href="/profile/eas7788">eas7788</a>, <a href="/profile/bookjockeymeg">bookjockeymeg</a>, <a href="/profile/Maethelwine">Maethelwine</a>, <a href="/profile/nvblue">nvblue</a></td></tr></table></div></div><div id="workpagesort_20" class="quickedit light flipped"><div class="nav"><div class="sectionhead_rbutcontainer"><button id="u_c6dbf6d8_snb" value="numbers" value="numbers" class="func_lt2_display_ui lt2button btn ltbtn-button-float-right btn-tiny btn-default" type="button" role="button" onclick="tagcloud_showTagNumbers('u_c6dbf6d8');

I also loved her sleek, atmospheric Piranesi. So I was pleasantly surprised when one of my local libraries (the only one in a very large suburban system) had a copy of Ladies on the shelf. I will confess that had I begun with this, I might not have pursued Clarke's work in any hurry, though I would have gotten to it eventually.<br><br>I see this collection as an interesting look into Clarke's voice, her imaginative wit, her writing gifts and fascinations that exploded into the marvel that is JS&MN. The stories feel like test runs, explorations, and sometimes an almost offhand "hmm, here's a thought - let's see where this might have come from... or where this might go." Tom Brightwind clearly is of the same ilk as the fabulous Gentleman with the Thistledown Hair. Clarke also uses her opportunity to present "ladies" in a way JS&MN didn't fully afford - I especially liked the title story of three quietly sly and independent ladies with a certain affinity with owls. Clarke turns needlework and embroidery - those traditional pursuits to which ladies of her favored era were often doomed - into clever and mordantly funny exercises in power. And she has fun with wrangling or upending classic fairy-tale tropes like Rumpelstiltskin or the "poor fool" who outwits a mighty king into tales that are at least entertaining if not completely original.<br><br>If you're already a fan, this collection is fun and enjoyable. If not, this may not change your mind. But try JS&MN anyway because that is her "mistress-work." <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss6.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_244524919" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_244524919"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_244524919" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_244524919" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_244524919"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/JulieStielstra" target="_top">JulieStielstra</a> | Jul 18, 2023 | <a href="/review/244524919"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_35723321" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/1363050" data-workid="1363050" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1596912510.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1596912510.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1596912510.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>Short stories, mostly set in the same world as Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, published in various anthologies. Even the one set in a different universe is in the same vein, which is an England of several centuries past, where the land of Faerie strongly impinges on the lives of various people. A few stories play with extended footnotes, as in the novel, but most do not. I enjoyed the writing and wry wit, but they all are pretty much of the same cloth: enter the land of Faerie at your own risk. These work better read over a long period of time, I think. None have the depth of characterization or darkness that the novel often achieved.<br><br>Recommended, especially for fans of the novel and those considering reading it. If you hated the novel, you will almost certainly hate this collection. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss6.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_35723321" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_35723321"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_35723321" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_35723321" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_35723321"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/ChrisRiesbeck" target="_top">ChrisRiesbeck</a> | Jul 17, 2023 | <a href="/review/35723321"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_243955425" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/1363050" data-workid="1363050" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1596912510.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1596912510.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1596912510.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>Didn't finish.

With Clarke's characteristic historical detail and diction, these dark, enchanting tales unfold in a slightly distorted version of our own world, where people are bedeviled by mischievous interventions from the fairies. With appearances from beloved characters from her novel, including Jonathan Strange and Childermass, and an entirely new spin on certain historical figures, including Mary, Queen of Scots, this is a must-have for fans of Susanna Clarke and an enticing introduction to her work for new listeners.</div></div><div id="workpagesort_25" class="quickedit light"><div class="nav"><span class="navInfoTitle"><span class="divotBig" onclick="LibraryThing.work.handleSectionHide(this, 'libdesc', 'u_056e55c3', '0');"><span class="chdivot" style="font-size:9px;vertical-align:bottom;">▼</span></span>Library descriptions</span></div><div class="qelcontent" id="u_056e55c3" style="display:block;"><p>No library descriptions found.</p></div></div><div id="workpagesort_70" class="quickedit light flipped"><div class="nav"><div class="sectionhead_rbutcontainer"><span class="sectionTitleHelp"><a href="https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Common_Knowledge#LibraryThing_members.27_description" class="blacklink" title="Help"><img style="vertical-align:middle;" class="helpIcon" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/helpq.png" alt="?"></a></span></div><span class="navInfoTitle"><span class="divotBig" onclick="LibraryThing.work.handleSectionHide(this, 'ckdesc', 'u_2f4c30d1', '0');"><span class="chdivot" style="font-size:9px;vertical-align:bottom;">▼</span></span>LibraryThing members' description</span></div><div class="qelcontent" id="u_2f4c30d1" style="display:block;"> <div class="workSection"> <table class="fwikiContainerTable ch2"> <tr> <td valign="top" class="fwikiLabel">Book description</td> <td><table class="fwikiGroup"><tr><td class='fwikiField' id='u_eb1e9be9' itemType='1' itemNum='1363050' fieldType='14' name='u_eb1e9be9' allowmultiple='0' hasHistory = '0' fieldName = 'description' uitype = '3' ltlang='eng' hint = 'This is a general description.
