First edition, TPBO, Trade paperback, New, 463 pp.<br/> Cover artwork by: Ginevra Rapisardi "It's 1959. To eight-year-old Felicity - who lives on a dying farm in England - the fairies in the woods have much more to offer than the people in her everyday life. As she becomes more rooted in their world, she learns that their magic is far from safe. Their queen, Elfrida, offers Felicity a gift. But fairy bargains are never what they seem. As an adult, Felicity leaves for university. Unfortunately, books are not her only company at school: Elfrida and Hobb - the queen's constant companions - wield the ability to appear at any time, causing havoc in her new friendships and love life. Desperate, Felicity finally begins to explore the true nature of the Fair Folk and their magic. Her ally, the folklorist Professor Edgerley, asks, 'What do they want from you?'' The answer lies in the distant past, and in the secrets of her own family."
