Welcome to Litsy!

If you thought grumpy Cambridge scholar Emily Wilde‘s research into faerie-kind and their mysterious realms was enchanting, intense, or quite seriously ill-advised before…just wait until she becomes the queen of one! This series is so clever, delicious, and fantastically conceived—I‘ll walk through any faerie door on the heels of Emily, her dandy of a faerie prince, and their expanding world of colleagues, companions, beasts, friends, and foes!

Photos from our Saturday walk. We picked chestnuts: not only were they pretty, shiny and pristine, with not a maggot in sight and hardly any mud on them, but they were also delicious.
And Little Witch Hazel is a fantastic book for children. Grandkid loves the stories & I like the underpinning “hippy“ outlook on life - kind, understanding and tolerant (including of leg hair on women 😅)

I loved the Fancy Nancy books growing up and when reading this, I was reminded a lot of them. The way the book is written as well as the illustrations. I would love to read this in an elementary class.

Alice the Fairy by David Shannon, published in 2004. This story is about Alice who is a temporary fairy and wants to become one permanently. The illustrations are very cartoonish and child like, and the text is written in a different way helps with the flow or reading.

3✨ I love the whimsy of this series. Fiona the fairy is probably my favorite character. She is not perfect and she is super sweet. Courtney always tries to do her best in her fairy garden business and she always seems to find trouble. Not my favorite in the series, but definitely still a cute story. #SeriesLove @TheSpineView @Andrew65

I'll never tire of Emily Wilde and her Faerie adventures. But this time, Emily isn't just researching faeries-- she's becoming their queen. Alongside Wendell, Emily is ready to retake his Irish realm. Unfortunately, their story is following a dangerous precedent that is sure to get someone killed. Not if Emily has anything to say--or research-- about it though. Another wonderfully fun historical fantasy romp from Heather Fawcett.
