Summary

Collected together for the first time: the first three volumes in the delightful Witches of Lychford cozy fantasy series.

A trio of witches (local priest, local crank, local magic shop owner) work to save the sleepy hamlet of Lychford from supernatural forces bent on its destruction.

What They're Saying

Critics Review

Praise for Witches of Lychford

“At once epic and terribly intimate. This is the story of a village, not a city, and all the more powerful for that; not all big fantasy needs an urban setting. Beautifully written, perfectly cruel, and ultimately kind. This is Cornell at the height of his craft.” –Seanan McGuire, author of the Wayward Children and October Daye series

“Paul Cornell has written a marvelous story, rich in charm, about local politics and witchcraft writ small and personal, but large in consequence.” –Bill Willingham, author of Fables and Down the Mysterly River

“Masterfully creepy and sinister, all the more so for taking place in the beautifully drawn English countryside.” –Jenny Colgan, author of Doctor Who: Into the Nowhere

Praise for The Lost Child of Lychford

“Cornell weaves together a fast-paced story and engrossing character studies; he paints a setting of a gloomy English countryside, disarming his readers with magic and danger that lurks unseen. Beneath the suspense lies wry humor that buoys the tale along.” –Publishers Weekly

“Cornell introduces some genuine existential chills into this ingratiating setting.” –The Chicago Tribune

Praise for A Long Day in Lychford

“Cornell’s brand of magic is delightfully atmospheric and refreshing.” –Publishers Weekly
