I was a little disappointed when I realized this was just a short story because I have been so excited to read another something by Susanna Clarke.  I’m so glad I picked this up in the midwinter - it made up for the lack of snow outside with it’s atmospheric wintry setting, and brought the magic that already exists in the wood alive.  I immediately ordered a copy so I could fully appreciate the illustrations and the quotes. I loved the mysticism and also the light-hearted fantasy. Only wish it was longer!
