The great Victorian fairy painter takes centre stage in and out of Bedlam, beset by the larger-than-life characters of phantasmagorical Victorian London while he tries to commune with the fairies he creates on canvas. Rival painters eerie foreshadows of modern Young Britsh Artists plague him while a kindly doctor tries to help him return to sanity; Nina pays him a visit from her 21st century Utopia and Dadd puts in a spot of time-travel himself. . .
Miranda Miller has published five novels, including Loving Mephistopheles and Nina in Utopia.
