![]() ![]() I also liked the references to Mr.Lewis (Matthew Gregory Lewis who wrote ‘The Monk’) and Mrs.Radcliffe (Ann Radcliffe who wrote ‘The Mysteries of Udolpho’). My favourite parts of the second volume till now were the re-appearance of Mr.Segundus and Mr.Honeyfoot, the magic that Jonathan Strange did – the subtle one where he interchanges a book with its image in the mirror, so that the image is outside while the book is inside the mirror and the story told in the long footnote on the Master of Nottingham’s daughter. I promise that I will catch up with you during the coming week. I apologize to fellow readalong participants for not being able to finish reading volume 2 and letting you down. I could read just fifty pages in the second volume. I thought I will read atleast half of the second volume of the book and post on that, but I couldn’t even do that. I thought I will be able to catch up during the latter part of the week, but, unfortunately, it was not possible. I couldn’t read for most of the week because of a family emergency. ![]() ![]() This is my second post in the ‘Jonathan Strange and Mr.Norrell’ readalong. ![]()
