The true story of one woman's international quest for the magical faeries whose stories sparked her childhood imagination.
For book editor Signe Pike, the appeal of her manic big-city life had worn off. The untimely death of her father was the low point of her quarter-life crisis-and the impetus to strike out in
search of something to believe in again.
Faery Tale is the heartfelt and engaging account of Signe's journey to return to the magical stories she treasured as a child. In a sweeping pilgrimage through Mexico, England, Ireland,
Scotland, New York, and beyond, this chronicle takes readers to dark glens, abandoned forests, ancient sacred sites, and dimly lit local pubs, depicting the colorful characters who take
faery-hunting very seriously. As Signe attempts to connect with the spirit world-and reconnect with her sense of wonder and purpose-she'll come to view both herself and the world around her in
a profoundly new way.
A mesmerizing testament to the astonishing power of human belief, Faery Tale is more than a memoir-it's a journey about hope, love, loss, the frailty of the human condition, and the ties
that bind us, for better or worse, to family.
