After Nina in Utopia comes the second breathtakingly original entry in the Bedlam TrilogyThe great Victorian fairy painter takes center stage in—and out of—Bedlam, beset by the larger-than-life characters of phantasmagorical Victorian London while he tries to commune with the fairies he creates on canvas. Rival artists—eerie foreshadows of modern Young British Artists—plague him, while a kindly doctor tries to help him return to sanity; Nina pays him a visit from her 21st-century utopia and Dadd puts in a spot of time travel himself.
