Ποια είναι η ποιότητα των ληφθέντων αρχείων;

Faerie is never as far away as you think. Sometimes you find you have crossed an invisible line & must cope, as best you can, with petulant princesses, vengeful owls, ladies who pass their time embroidering terrible fates or with endless paths in deep, dark woods and houses that never appear the same way twice. The heroines & heroes bedevilled by such problems in these fairy tales include a conceited Regency clergyman, an eighteenth-century Jewish doctor & Mary, Queen of Scots, as well as two characters from "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell: Strange himself & the Raven King".
