Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell

BBC is bringing “Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell” to life. You can check the trailer below.

How amazing is this? I LOVED this trailer, and I can’t wait to catch up with the series.

“JS&MN” is one of my favorite books of all time. It’s not for everyone’s taste, I know. But I, personally, find it AMAZING! I mean, picture this: A Victorian lady narrates a story about 19th century magicians.

Do I even need to explain why this book is utter awesomeness incarnated?

No, I don’t.

Gosh darn you, Susanna Clarke. You raised the bar too high with this.

Oooh, this sounds interesting! I found the book a little long-winded so putting it into film might be just the thing. Thanks for the heads-up. 🙂

    I would point out that signing up for a mailing list is a far smaller compromise than proposing lol

Watched the fifth episode last night. Best thing on telly in a long time. The story is so clever, the details fascinating and the BBC’s production engrossing.
