Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell

This is a magical and beautiful series shown on the BBC, adapted from Susanna Clarke's novel. It's an unusual story, a costume drama with a gothic edge and full of magic. I fell in love with it and was inspired to create a set of double-page spreads, each one a different part of the story. At the time I was working in publishing and wanted to make something really creative and in my own style. It was so satisfying to stretch myself and pour everything into an illustrated book.
