Cover Blurbs:

"Strange Devices of the Sun and Moon is that rare and marvelous beast, a fantasy grounded in humanity. Lia Goldstein mixes history, faerie, literature and love to engrave a tale both intelligent and fine." -- Neil Gaiman

"Works on every level ... Goldstein renders London with powerfully historical accuracy, her characters are rich and full, and her Fair Folk deliver both a sense of wonder and a shiver down the spine ... Thoroughly satisfying." -- Publishers Weekly

"Brings ... the dragons of alchemy and fairyland into battle, turning conventional ideas of good and evil on their heads." -- Patricia McKillip

"A phantasmagorical brew of poetry and politics, magic and mortality, splendor and squalor, unerringly rendered in Goldstein's lucid and moving prose." -- Susan Palwick
