Finished this absolute gem last night.

I guess I would describe this as a historical fairy tale with lots of adventure and romance.

Emily is a grumpy professor off into the wilds in search of faeries, she doesn't relate well to people and just wants to get on with her work. Her colleague and his research students show up. She is forced to make friends in the community. The adventures begin and she is pulled into the Fae world and her colleague/budding love interest and the community try to save her.

The first few chapters of the book, I didn't think I would enjoy it...and then it absolutely enchanted me and I had to read it all. It was a fun story and I likely will buy the next book in the series, just because I have to know what happens next.

The cover of the book Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett. The cover is a pale yellow with winding leaves, mushrooms and berries on the right and left side of the book, at the bottom of the cover is an open book with pages blowing up. The book title is centred in pink writing, the author name is above that in a dark yellow.

I don't like my leaf veins on the centre leaf, but I think I'm just going to say the faerie bed is done.

It's a combination of woodburning, sewing, and painting (fabric paints used on parts of each leaf).

Hopefully, NJ will be fine with it. She asked me to make this, but she's not in a faerie phase, so I should be safe.

#FolkloreThursday for #WorldOceansDay: Sea captains were often born from the mating of the #Scottish Highland #Ceasg. This mermaid—half woman, half salmon—was also known as the maighdean na tuinne or “maiden of the wave.” Like other captured #faeries, she was said to grant wishes to her captor. But like any other seagoing siren, she was also capable of capturing humans, who usually lost their lives upon entering her watery domain.

X (formerly Twitter)Origins of the Laoich - Devil’s Fool (@originsoflaoich) on XA Highland mermaid whose contact, is perilous to mankind. If captured she would grant 3 wishes. The Ceasg would drag fishermen & women to a watery grave if they deemed them disrespectful to the lands the Ceasg would inhabit #folklorethursday #scottish #highlands #fantasy #mermaid

#Celtic #LegendaryWednesday #WyrdWednesday: From the #faeries, #Guleesh learned that a special plant grew on the gable of his parents' house. Unwittingly, they told him that he must cook it before giving it to the Princess of France, to redeem her from a malediction. The peasant boy had saved her from forced marriage and she should finally have been able to speak again. The cure succeeded and so did the marriage of the poor Irishman to the Princess of France.

Nua-#CelticSoulJourney in #Ireland: “On Knockgrafton, in the Glen of Aherlow at the base of the Galtee Mountains, a hunchback named Lusmore overheard #faeries singing a monotonous song that went, “Monday, Tuesday.” His quickwitted ability to extend the fairy song thrilled them, and they cured his deformity. The story is a common one in Celtic lands.“
