A memoir of enchantment, beauty and self-discovery. Pike felt jaded as a 20 something editor at Penguin in New York, and longed for the fairy tales of her childhood. She embarked on a journey of discovery which took her all over the world to learn about folklore and evidence of 'little people'. Will appeal to fans of "Eat, Pray, Love".
Synopsis
In a sweeping tour of Mexico, England, Ireland, Scotland and beyond, this title takes readers to dark glens and abandoned forests, ancient sacred sites and local pubs, seeking people who might believe in the elusive beings we call faeries.
