You Must Remember!
Eithnie
has always loved the Canadian woods, it was home to her and as an
artist she has always found inspiration and comfort among the trees. But
now something is different. There is a change in the air and the woods
are full of whispers, shadows and visions that fill her with fear. For
the first time in her life the woods no longer feel safe, and so Eithnie
flees.
In the desert plains of Arizona, a world away from
her familiar landscape of trees, Eithnie discovers a new land, a new
vision of inspiration, a new understanding for the sparse plains before
her and for the wooded lands she left behind. Armed with new courage,
Eithnie returns to her woods where she discovers a love she never
thought possible and a new future in the woods that have always been
home.
The Wild Wood is changing, there
is a magic in the air and a presence among the trees. But there is also
desperation, the woods are dying, crying out for help and only Eithnie
has the power to save them, if she has the courage to accept the
responsibility. A story of magic and romance, this first book in the
Fairyland series is beautifully written by a masterful storyteller
bringing to life the magical imagery of an enchanting illustrator.
