The Wood at Midwinter

An appendix to Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell of sorts, the story is paced and illustrated as a child's story, but with a dark grey undertone that suggests that it's more of a whimsy for adults.

Some children that are not prone to fearful reactions to the unknown, and the most mild of suggestions of death would also like it, especially for its connection to Christmas, however tangential it might be. As an amply illustrated short story, it is a quick read, but satisfying nonetheless.
