As for the 'dark and demonic North of England' – I've lived further north than that, and further south – and from one end of Britain to the other, it just reeks of Steampunk and Victorian history. We're very lucky over here.

I’ve read all the books in the series and I must say they are easily the best books I’ve ever read! I love the world, the story and the people. I discovered steampunk by Googling things that I thought might be in the world of this book.

Mr Reeve, I'm honoured that you're here! I do hope that the æther-chat causes you no problems, you may find future methods of communication either in comments such as this one, via electrostatic mail (please see the 'to whom it may concern, page), or even through the forum.

May I say I've read two of the Hungry City Chronicles books now, and I have enjoyed them greatly (though I find the endings a little upsetting). Thank you for writing them.

This is sweetly kind, but I find myself baffled by your advanced technology? How does one sign up to partake in your agreeable aether-chat?

Sincerely

Philip Reeve

The Hungry City chronicles is my single favorite book series. I can’t recommend it enough.

Indeed there are many Steampunk or Steampunk type books hiding in the Children’s section of book stores right now. On a recent trip I spied at least three books with various degrees of steampunkishness. There was a series called “Edgeworld” with flying mechanical galleons and whatnot in it. And I have to say all of these books boast splendid black and white pen and ink illustration. Its about time that genre of illustrative work shone again..

Yep – spot on TG – I mean, until I read the Wikipedia definition I didn’t know I like Steampunk! LOL

…And I am getting on a bit (mid-40s) so I was brought up with what was termed as simply ‘Science fiction’ or ‘fantasy’, like ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’, ‘The Time Machine’, and all those dodgy Doug McClure movies!

I wonder what H.G. Wells would have thought of the term?

(BTW – just watched ‘Steamboy’ last night, was a bit disappointed – fantastic animation, bit of a thin plot line. Sorry – OT I know.)
