The Night Circus: A spellbinding fantasy of magic, mystery and midnight wonder

The circus arrives without warning. Yesterday it was not there. Today, beneath the grey sky, its towering tents are striped in black and white.

A sign hanging upon the iron gates reads:

Opens at Nightfall
Closes at Dawn

As dusk deepens, tiny lights begin to flicker across the tents until the whole circus seems covered in fireflies. Then another sign lights up: Le Cirque des Rêves. The Circus of Dreams. The gates shudder, unlock and swing open.

Now the circus is open. Now you may enter.

The Night Circus is an enchanting fantasy novel about magic, performance, wonder and illusion. Richly visual and atmospheric, Erin Morgenstern’s world of black-and-white tents invites readers into a dreamlike circus where every act offers a different kind of marvel.

A magical fantasy for readers drawn to mystery, spectacle and stories that unfold after dark.
