Tanya is no ordinary girl. She can see fairies. But not the fairies we imagine. Evil fairies who cast spells on her, rousing her from her sleep and propelling her out of bed. At wits end with her daughters inexplicable behavior, Tanyas mother sends her away to live with her grandmother at Elvesden Manor, a secluded countryside mansion on the outskirts of a peculiar Essex town. There is plenty to explore, as long as Tanya stays away from Hangmans Wood—a vast stretch of forest, full of catacombs and notorious for people losing their lives. Fifty years ago a girl vanished in the woods, a girl Tanyas grandmother will not speak of. As Tanya learns more about this girl, she finds herself dangerously close to vanishing into the fairy realm forever. Debut author Michelle Harrison weaves an intricate mystery into a beautiful and haunting fantasy that captures a rich world of fairy lore where only the color red can offer protection.

As though in answer to his fantastic beckoning an old-man-monkey started to come out to the very end of a branch. The Bush nigger below; up gun, hop-hop, curtsy to the ground! Then stretching his arms out as far as he could from his chest, with the gun held in the palm of the right hand, he fired! And to my absolute amazement he hit M. Monkey. The charge must have been very heavy indeed, as I saw the Bush nigger's arm smash down by the kick of the gun against his chest. But the old monkey, vitally wounded, was hanging on by one hand to the extreme limit of the branch. In shooting monkeys a hunter is by no means sure to get what he hits. Unless killed outright they clutch with tail or hand and may hang wounded until the hunter's patience is exhausted or starvation drives him home. The Bush nigger began violently to shake the barrel of his gun down toward the ground. He pranced about as he shook. His gesticulations became more decided, but it was always the same motion, gun barrel pointed downward toward the earth. It kept up so long I went and got Ban and asked him why he was doing that. Ban looked at me quite soberly. "To help shake the monkey out of the tree," he answered, as though it was obviously the thing to do. The poor old beast was dying fast. At last, with a sort of a shudder, he relaxed his hold and dropped dead at the Bush nigger's feet. Then Ban expatiated with an odd contradictory air of unwilling belief, "You see, sir, these people know just how to do that. If you or I had shot that monkey it would have stopped up there.

He lived story-books, but, although he told them delectably, he had no love for a pen and absolutely declined to write them. Something had to be done. On one of his rare emersions from the Bush, as he made transitory passage through socalled civilized parts, to which he referred whimsically as people-infested geographical divisions, I extracted the greater part of the narrative set down. I found him a human of exceptional species, genus homo primitivus aestheticus, perhaps the only one of his particular variety, whom it seemed desirable and natural to have speak to you in his own person.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
