About This Book

A mischief-loving fairy visits two children in the English countryside and enables meetings with voices and figures from the past; through a series of interlinked short stories and poems, warriors, craftsmen, smugglers, and ancient spirits recount episodes from Roman occupation, Saxon and Viking eras, medieval chivalry, and later folk life. Each episode blends historical detail with imaginative magic, often framed by songs and runic inscriptions, and examines themes of memory, continuity, and the deep ties between landscape and legend. The collection alternates narrative tales with lyrical pieces to create an episodic, folkloric tour of place and tradition.

LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS

‘“Go!” she says, “Go with my Leave an’ Goodwill.”’ Frontispiece
FACING PAGE
In the very spot where Dan had stood as Puck they saw a small, brown, broad-shouldered, pointy-eared person with a snub nose, slanting blue eyes, and a grin that ran right across his freckled face. 6
‘There’s where you meet hunters, and trappers for the Circuses, prodding along chained bears and muzzled wolves.’ 152
‘Hoity-toity!’ he cried. ‘Here’s Pride in purple feathers! Here’s wrathy contempt and the Pomps of the Flesh!’... And he doffed his cap to the bubbling bird. 212
