From the award-winning author of Piranesi and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell comes a luminous, illustrated tale rooted in quiet magic and deep woods.

Merowdis Scot, a curious and solitary nineteen-year-old, is most alive when wandering beneath trees. Gifted with the uncanny ability to speak with animals and plants, she finds comfort in the stillness of the forest and the company of her dogs and her pig, Apple.

One snow-laden afternoon, as twilight settles over the land, a blackbird and a fox appear with silent urgency. Then a mysterious figure emerges from between the treesone who does not quite belong to this world. In that moment, Merowdiss path shifts, as if the forest itself has chosen to open a door.

Set in the richly imagined world of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, The Wood at Midwinter is a quietly enchanting story of nature, change, and the threads that bind the ordinary to the magical. With exquisite illustrations and an afterword from Susanna Clarke, this is a small, timeless gem for readers who believe the forest still holds secrets.
