If Fairyland’s detailed, magical setting captured your imagination, you’ll be swept away by the vibrant world of Nevermoor, where cursed Morrigan Crow is whisked into a realm brimming with quirky characters, enchanted places, and a society full of secret traditions and marvels.
If Catherynne M. Valente’s sparkling wit and wordplay made you smile, you’ll adore the sly humor and inventive language of Haroun and the Sea of Stories. Haroun’s quest is peppered with puns, jokes, and a whimsical narrative voice that brings the magical world of storytelling to life.
