It was quite funny to read about the first time Mr Norrell actually gave his pupil a book. Under Mr Norrell’s tutelage, Strange begins to learn more about magic, even though the best books on the subject are still kept away from him by his tutor. This is the start of a partnership between the two magicians. There they meet Mr Strange and being told that he was looking for books of magic, they encourage him to become Norrell’s pupil. It is now 1809 and the two magicians (one of them now only a theoretical magician) make plans to visit a haunted place called Shadow House. The second volume of the story begins with Mr Honeyfoot and Mr Segundus going on a trip, three years later from when the events in volume one started. I will add the links to their reviews as soon as I get them. Vishy and I are co-hosting this event, and we are joined by several bloggers who decided to share this experience with us. This is the second week of the read-along in which we discuss Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke.
