pml | 1124 comments The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories contains short stories set in and/or directly referred to within Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. Perhaps it should be included on the series page?

Also, the Kindle edition of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, ASIN# B003RRXXMA, is listed (in parentheses after the title) as being #1 in the series of Jonathon Strange & Mr Norell. Apart from the misspelling of Norell, this edition contains all three books of the published title.

The full book should not be part of the series at all. (The series only exists because the book was broken into parts for publication is some countries.)

And while there is definitely a link to the book of shorts, I don't think it's enough to create a series for those two books.

Thanks for checking.
Since this is the case, on ASIN# B003RRXXMA, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, could you delete the last part in the title (in parentheses) stating it holds vol.s 1-3 in the series?
If this isn't possible, please add the 2nd 'r' in Norrell.
Thank you.

Lobstergirl Is this a series?

I haven't read them so I don't know. Are they linked by the same characters? Or only by presence of ghosts in each book?

Lobstergirl Yes...she writes in several different subgenres. But a series is something much more specific. Anyone mind if I delete that ghost series?
