Fevvers, the turn-of-the-century aerial artiste who really flies is
one of Carter's most memorable creations. From the London stage,
she weaves her fantastical way through some haunting - and
extremely strange - experiences. This is a book that triumphantly
combines feminism, fantasy, ribaldry and even pathos. (Kirkus UK)
'Angela Carter has influenced a whole generation of fellow writers towards dream worlds of baroque splendour, fairy tale horror, and visions of the alienated wreckage of a future world. In NIGHTS AT THE CIRCUS, she has invented a new, raunchy, raucous, Cockney voice for her heroine Fevvers, taking us back into a rich, turn of the 19th century world, which reeks of human and animal variety' The Times.
