About this listen

In Edwy, Ann Radcliffe invites us into a whimsical world where the eponymous hero embarks on a fantastical quest to uncover the truth about his beloved Auras affections. Armed with a magic mirror crafted from crystal, Edwy sneaks into the enchanting Windsor Forest under the cover of night, seeking the assistance of the elusive love-fay, Eda. As he navigates this dreamlike realm, he witnesses the regal procession of the Fairy Queen and the lively midnight festivities of elves and spirits. However, what begins as a midsummer night’s dream quickly descends into a comedy of errors. Edwy grapples with memory loss, makes clumsy missteps, and inadvertently releases a mischievous wood sprite, all while pursuing his romantic ambitions. With a playful touch, Mrs. Radcliffe weaves a tale that captures the shimmering magic of the nocturnal forest, celebrating the enchanting uncertainty of love and the mysteries revealed by moonlight.
