This is the night of revelation. This is the night the dolls wake. This is the night of the dreamer in the attic. This is the night of the piper in the woods. —excerpt from Steven Millhauser’s novella, Enchanted NightPresently, in the fullness of summer, sticky days give way to cool nights. If there was a book that captures the soulful essence of a midsummer evening, it is Enchanted Night.
Writing in hushed tones, Steven Millhauser pens a moonlit tale of one summer evening in a small Connecticut town. The novella explores the footsteps of the adventurous few who steal out from their daylit lives and into their town strangely transformed by the enchanted night. Ebbing from the mundane to the magical, reading this story gives one the feeling of drifting in and out of sleep. And reverie is always recommended at the Mercuriosity Shop.
