By The Way: The Fairies' Tales About Us - Hardcover

by Holly Walters (Author), Adam Wassil (Author), Adam Wassil (Illustrator)

Ever wonder what stories fairies tell about humans? By the Way is a collection of fairy tales with a twist. It flips the script on classic fantasy, exploring a world where mythical creatures are the main characters and humans are the stuff of legend. In these pages, a dying swamp spirit contemplates the little girl who brings her a goldfish, while three scheming goblins are outsmarted by a clever child. A caravan of changelings searches for the mysterious people who walk the roads with hounds and horses, and a brave teddy bear knight sets out to rescue his best friend from nightly terrors. From a stray cat's sinister encounter to many more strange adventures, the stories in By the Way are filled with whimsical characters and unusual circumstances. Blending poetry with prose and a dose of art and humor, this collection offers something for everyone. All you need is a little imagination and a careful glance over your shoulder.
