Act I

Scene.—A Sculptor’s studio. Arthur Gervaise working at a clay figure and humming a tune. A knock.

At the Back of the North Wind
You spend time with Diamond, a gentle, grave little boy who rides through the night in the North Wind’s hair, while London poverty and fairy-tale strangeness sit side by side. It’s dreamy, episodic, and sometimes frankly sad, but its kindness toward lonely, overlooked people stays with you.
Lilith
Fair warning, this reads like a fever dream about death and forgiveness, not an adventure. But if you'll follow Mr. Vane through a mirror and let a raven who's also a librarian talk you into lying down among the sleepers, its strangeness gets under your skin for good.
Phantastes
Strange in the best way: you follow Anodos into fairy land and the story moves like a dream, one image sliding into the next, including a shadow that attaches itself to him and dims everything he loves. If you need tight plot, skip it; if you like wandering, it lingers for years.
