Elegant and decadent, vulgar and clever, enchanting and dark. The love child of Angela Carter and Anaïs Nin - the book I really really needed * Sarah Perry, author of THE ESSEX SERPENT * Funny, filthy, dancingly clever ... A delectable confection of many-layered pleasures. A story of stories, storytellers, and the lurking dangers of fairytales, set against the lavish decadence of 1600s Versailles. I gobbled it all up * Joanna Quinn, author of THE WHALEBONE THEATRE * Original, fantastical, historical, and unputdownable * Karen Joy Fowler, Booker Prize-shortlisted author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves * The Modern Fairies gives us intimate access to the most prestigious of private Parisian salons. In a novel both aching and cruel, sumptuous and tender, Pollard’s beautiful writing leads us along winding pathways. Through its prickling branches to exquisite clearings of hope, this book consumed me. * Katie Hale, author of MY NAME IS MONSTER * Pollard's future, as a novelist, is very bright indeed * The i, praise for DELPHI * 'Brilliant ... Born of searing eloquence and sinister wit' * Jackie Polzin, author of BROOD, praise for DELPHI * This feels impressive ...

Both terrifying and exhilarating * Doireann Ní Ghríofa, author of A GHOST IN THE THROAT, praise for DELPHI *
