Katherine Rundell’s “Impossible Creatures” has finally made its way to U.S. bookstores after initially being released in the U.K. The fantasy novel follows two young protagonists facing a murderous threat and encountering magical creatures in a mysterious landscape. Rundell will be appearing in Southern California for a special event to discuss her new book, which is also available as an audiobook narrated by Samuel West.
For readers interested in obtaining books not yet available in the U.S., ordering from U.K. bookstores online is a viable option. Some U.K. bookshops may not ship overseas or charge high shipping rates. However, establishments like Foyles, Daunt, Waterstones, and Mr. B’s Emporium offer a wide range of selections. Independent publishers like Unbound and Little Toller, as well as second-hand book purveyors, also provide unique options for book lovers.
Recommendations for U.K. books that may interest American readers have been compiled by Mr. B’s Emporium, featuring titles such as “Winter Love” by Han Suyin, “The Offing” by Benjamin Myers, and “Late Light” by Michael Malay. Additionally, the bookstore offers a Reading Spa service that pairs customers with a bookseller for personalized book suggestions.
Rundell, in a Q&A, shared insights about her inspirations for “Impossible Creatures” and her admiration for authors like Diana Wynne Jones and Jane Austen. She also discussed her favorite book covers, recommended audiobooks, and revealed a hidden detail from her latest novel. The author expressed gratitude to readers for embracing her work and shared heartwarming encounters with young fans who are captivated by the magic of her stories.
