Old Farm Fairies: A Summer Campaign in Brownieland Against King Cobweaver's Pixies

Old Farm Fairies: A Summer Campaign in Brownieland Against King Cobweaver's Pixies

Henry C. McCook

Children & Young Adult Reading, Novels, Science-Fiction & Fantasy

This whimsical 19th-century fantasy pulses with an unusual heart: a band of Scottish Brownies, those beloved household spirits, upend their ancient home to emigrate to the Ohio wilderness alongside the human Wille family. Led by their aged King and lorekeeper, the Brownies seek peace in the New World, but find their old enemies waiting. King Cobweaver's cruel Pixies have followed across the Atlantic, and now the clover fields of Hillside become the setting for an epic struggle between light and shadow. McCook, a natural scientist by trade, infuses his fairy tale with keen observation of the natural world and a Victorian fascination with the supernatural. The result is neither simple nursery tale nor dark fable, but something rarer: a story about displacement, belonging, and the courage required to build a new home when ancient enemies dog your heels.
