Susanna Mary Clarke is a British SF author best known for her first novel, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, that won the 2005 Best Novel Hugo. She began the novel in 1993 and worked on it during her spare time.

Two years later, she published a collection of her short stories, The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories (2006).
