Description

English magicians were when the wonder of the known world, with fairy servants at their beck and call; they might command winds, mountains, and woods. But by the first 1800s they've long since lost the capability to perform magic. They could only write long, dull papers about any of it, while fairy servants are just a fading memory. But at Hurtfew Abbey in Yorkshire, the rich, reclusive Mr Norrell has assembled an excellent library of lost and forgotten books from England's magical past and regained a few of the powers of England's magicians.
