Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

Strange returns home a hero after helping to win the Battle of Waterloo, and resolves to write a book on ancient magic - to Norrell's horror. Strange's hopes for the future are shattered by a tragedy in his life, and following a confrontation with Norrell, he flees the country, determined to learn the truth about the fairy world - even if doing so costs him his sanity.

The corpse lying upstairs is no longer your wife or my sister.

#33

You were the very reason I did magic.

to take unto himself the soul of our dear sister here departed,

No, we must turn our attention to the life and magic of the Raven King,

His horse got its hoof caught in a rabbit-hole and he tumbled in.
