The Ladies of Grace Adieu by Suzanna Clarke


A book of fairytales, rather than short stories. I was really pleased with myself when I described the book as being like the Brothers Grimm rewritten by a Victorian lady with a wicked sense of humour. I was a bit disappointed to see one of the reviews on the back of the book had described it as being like the Brothers Grimm by Jane Austen, so I wasn't as original as I had thought. Nonetheless, this was an absolutely FABULOUS book. I loved it. Read it.
