Discover a Dazzling, Unique and Magical Faerie World. Photograph illustrated.
An enchanting evocation of a faerie world, combining stories of adventure, heroism and innocence with beautiful images drawn from tradition and technical wizardry.
Do faeries exist or are they figments of the imagination? This delightful book, a playful mixture of 'reality' and fantasy, will charm even the most sceptical of readers.
Deep within a trackless forest, student-architect Cathryn Thomlinson photographs a tumbledown cottage and comes across a long-hidden manuscript under the crumbling floorboards. While intrigued by its references to 'faeries', she dismisses it as the ramblings of a mad old woman, the long-dead Good Dame Kellerman.
Later, however, she is astonished by what her photographs reveal. There, amidst the plants and trees surrounding the cottage, are beautiful winged beings smiling mischievously at the camera.
Thus begins a story that takes readers on a journey into a world of fantasy that feels compellingly authentic. In the Forest Fey presents Good Dame Kellerman's account of her discovery of the faerie world, alongside Cathryn's ethereal images of the faeries, including the impetuous fire faerie Tirra Flamefrolic, the graceful water faerie Alarissa Fernspray, and the leader of the Faerie clans, Ashreyel the Wise.
Kellerman's spellbinding tale describes the hidden world of faeries, their heroic deeds, and their special relationship with the natural world. It is a magical place, at once seperate from our own, but with an undeniable relevance to it.
