'Penelope Fitzgerald's Innocence seems to me to be about realpeople undergoing real experiences, more real and more interestingthan most biographies, and it carries absolute conviction as totime and place. What more could one ask of a novel?' SpectatorBooks of the Year 'Innocence weilds a curious fascination, repletewith the sense of sleepy, slightly anxious fatalism that pervadesmuch of the Italian cinema of the period. Its magic, and itsmessage, are as oblique and inconclusive as the lives of itscharacters, but both have a lingering power, refreshingly fictive,deliciously un-English.' Literary Review 'I know of no one whoexpresses so deftly and entertainingly the way in which life seldomturns out as expected. A wonderful book.' Spectator 'This is by farthe fullest and richest of Penelope Fitzgerald's novels, and alsothe most ambitious. Her writing, as ever, has a natural authority,is very funny, warm and gently ironic, and full of tendernesstowards human beings and their bravery in living.' TLS

Beginning of Spring（ISBN=9780395908716）
'For the life of me I can't decide how properly to respond tothis book. Whether it contains a latent moral or allegoricalmessage, or whether it is simply a tour de force of craft andimagination I have not the faintest idea. I only know that it isone of the most skilful and utterly fascinating novels I have readfor years. I cannot imagine any kind of reader who would not get athrill from this gloriously peculiar book.' Jan Morris, Independent'Penelope Fitzgerald has produced a real Russian comedy, at oncecrafty and scatty. She has mastered a city, a landscape and avanished time. She has written something remarkable, part novel,part evocation, and done so in prose that never puts a foot wrong.She is so unostentatious a writer that she needs to be read severaltimes. What is impressive is the calm confidence behind theapparent simplicity of utterance. "The Beginning of Spring" is herbest novel to date.'

'A book which delights, amuses, disturbs and provokesreflection, in equal measure. It is a triumph of craftmanship,intelligence and sensibility.' Scotsman 'Contains more wit,intelligence and feeling than many novels three times its length.'Observer 'Formidable! no writer is more engaging than PenelopeFitzgerald.' Spectator 'Penelope Fitzgerald writes books whoseimaginative wholeness and whose sense of what language can suggestis magical. Whichever way you twist the lens of this kaleidoscopicbook, you see fresh things freshly.' Evening Standard 'The book isshort and full of activity. The story moves swiftly in unexpecteddirections. It is inspiring, funny and touching.' LRB 'Gilbertcould have written this and Sullivan set it to music. It shows anEdwardian university at Cambridge at its eccentric best. There areso many characters that are a delight. So many foibles and so muchfancifying. Fitzgerald is the only author I know who regularly getsreviews pleading her to write longer books.' Daily Mail

In this spellbinding biography, Todd interweaves the life ofMaria Sibylla Merian, a German artist and naturalist who becamefamous in the seventeenth century for her engravings ofcaterpillars, with the intellectual and scientific history ofmetamorphosis. At a time when theories of spontaneous generationwere popular, and when most naturalists contented themselves withspecimens pinned behind glass, Merian believed “in what could notbe encased—the moment-by-moment shifts.” Her work led her toAmsterdam, where curiosities arriving on trading ships promptedher, at the age of fifty-two, to sell her belongings for passage toSurinam. The engravings of the bugs she saw there brought thestrange, delicate environment of the Americas to vibrant life, andrevealed the complexities of insect mutation and regeneration. Toddpoints out the difficulties—competing theories and superstitions,exceptions for every rule—faced by natural scientists in Merian’sday, and hears their echo in modern-day entomology. ( The
