The Wood at Midwinter by Susanna Clarke is a beautifully written and enchanting short story from the internationally acclaimed author of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell and Piranesi.

Set during the quiet stillness of midwinter, the story follows a young girl named Merowdis who feels a deep and mysterious connection to the natural world around her. Living on the edge of a vast woodland, she is drawn to the forest and its hidden magic.

As winter deepens, Merowdis’s unusual gifts begin to reveal themselves, hinting at an ancient bond between her and the creatures of the wild. Through Clarke’s lyrical storytelling and atmospheric writing, the tale unfolds as a haunting and magical journey rooted in folklore and nature.

This beautifully crafted short work captures the wonder of winter landscapes, the power of myth, and the quiet magic that exists in the natural world.

Published by Bloomsbury Circus, this paperback edition is perfect for readers who enjoy literary fantasy, folklore-inspired storytelling, and atmospheric winter tales.
