‘Angela Carter has influenced a whole generation of fellow writers towards dream worlds of baroque splendour, fairy tale horror, and visions of the alienated wreckage of a future world’
  1. The Times
Nights at the Circus tells the story of Sophie Fevvers, half woman, half swan, all super star, and journalist Jack Walser’s quest to find the truth behind her unlikely legend. Stuffed to the gills with Angela Carter’s wildly original storytelling, gorgeously slippery language, and all the pleasures and horrors of a fairy tale, this first illustrated edition features nine exclusive colour illustrations and a set of black-and-white chapter headings by celebrated printmaker Eileen Cooper. A Royal Academician, Cooper has credited fairy tales, mythology and the female figure as core inspirations for her work, making her the perfect artist to bring Carter’s lush imagery to life. Sarah Waters’s novel Tipping the Velvet trod the same theatrical boards as Nights at the Circus, and here she provides an introduction celebrating Carter’s ‘masterpiece’ and the author’s unique power to ‘unsettle as well as to inspire and console’. This is a sensational edition of one of the 20th century’s greatest literary spectacles.

Great book, very good edition. The art could have been as luxuriant as Carter's prose, but doesn't disappoint.

Excellent printing and binding. Beautiful production! The illustrations are very bold, unusual, and lovely, and the print is a nice, larger, very easy to read size. The work itself is extremely imaginative and gorgeously written. It falls under the category of rarified, special literature, something that should be read multiple times.

Far better 'in the flesh' - however challenging the illustrations, they do work with the text. A fine book.

This is not my favorite Angela Carter but is still a good read. The bizarre illustrations are oddly appropriate for this very odd book. And of course Folio understands the nature, mood, and personality of the book better than any other publisher.

A beautifully produced book with great illustrations that capture the mood of Angela Carter's special brand of wondrous grotesquerie.
