In Napoleonic England, magic returns with two opposing magicians: the learned Mr Norrell, who wants to put his knowledge at the government's service, and the young Jonathan Strange, who becomes his disciple and then his rival.

For readers of historical fantasy who enjoy lengthy novels with Napoleonic setting and British mythology.
