What this book is about
Heather Fawcett's cozy fantasy follows Dr. Emily Wilde, a Cambridge academic whose encyclopaedia of faeries is her life's work, who travels to a remote Norwegian village to study the hidden folk — accompanied by her charming, infuriating colleague Wendell Bambleby, who has secrets of his own. Fawcett writes with warmth and wit; the faerie folklore is imaginative and the slow-burn romance between Emily and Wendell is genuinely engaging. Clean content appropriate for all ages.
