It is mostly seen as a work of [[Magic Realism]], but with quite a dose of fantasy element. Rushdie is particularly proud of the research he's done for the novel's writing, and proudly attached half a dozen pages of references at the end of the book—not bad for a work of fiction. At the heights of the Mughal Empire of India, a blond traveller with a strange overcoat and, seemingly, magical prowess, came to visit Akbar the Great with a secret only a king may hear. He claimed to be under the protection of the greatest enchantress in the world: the titular ~~enchantres~~enchantress of Florence. Strange things happened along the way. ---- Line 56 ⟶ 67: {{reflist}} [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Lit Fic]] {{DEFAULTSORT:Enchantress of Florence, The}} [[Category:~~{{PAGENAME}}~~Literature of the 2000s]] [[Category:British Literature]] [[Category:English Literature]]
