Menna van Praag

Menna van Praag is a half-Welsh, half-Dutch author of magical realist fiction. She writes enchanting novels that blend the everyday world with gentle magic, creating stories where extraordinary things happen to ordinary people — books come alive, dreams become real and the universe conspires to bring lonely souls together. The Dress Shop of Dreams is set in a magical dress shop in Cambridge where the dresses have the power to change the lives of those who wear them. The novel is a love letter to the transformative power of clothing, love and the magic hidden in everyday life. Van Praag's other novels include The House at the End of Hope Street and The Witches of Cambridge. Available as both books and audiobooks, Menna van Praag's novels offer enchanting listening and reading for fans of magical realism and contemporary fairy tales who appreciate stories where a little bit of magic makes everything possible.
