Emily Wild's Encyclopedia of Fairies
The first volume in the bestselling fantasy series about a scientist studying the world of faeries
The cantankerous Professor Emily Wilde travels to the remote northern island of Ljosland to study its faerie folklore and write her ground-breaking encyclopaedia on these magical beings. However, she faces a number of difficulties, including the fact that although she is the leading expert on everything related to supernatural creatures, communicating with mortal humans is a tough nut to crack, which is why she prefers to keep to herself with her books and her dog.
Emily's research is further complicated by the arrival of her academic rival, the charming Wendell Bambleby, who manages to win over the locals immediately and constantly interferes with Emily's scientific work.
But when the faeries lure young village girls into their realm, Emily and Wendell must join forces to try and save them. In the process, secrets concerning them both come to the surface. What sacrifice will they have to make to save the islanders from the malevolent Folk? And how many faeries will Emily be able to add to her encyclopaedia?
Reviews:
Fawcett will capture the attention of readers, drawing them into the folklore as well as the surrounding world. A great read for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Erin Morgenstern.
- Library Journal
Emily is charming, brilliant, but flawed and often darkly funny. And her frustration with her carefree but charming colleague, Wendell Bambleby, can be sparky, as can the light romantic subplot, which can be surprisingly strong when it comes to it.
- The New York Times
An immensely vibrant and endlessly charming book… Like all truly great fantasy novels, it pushed the real world aside, and I envy anyone who gets to read it for the first time.
- Melissa Albert, author of The Hazel Wood
