These are all (or almost all) set in the world of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, which I enjoyed but read so long ago that now all I really remember is being mildly disappointed with the ending. And I don't normally like short stories at all. BUT. These are all vividly wicked and funny fairy tales, some of them really inspired re-tellings, and Clarke is an excellently atmospheric writer who can really tell a story and set a scene.
