About this title

Synopsis

One of Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2010

"Part travel memoir, part anthropological study, [Pike] captures the hopefulness of childhood & the magic of believing." —Harper's Bazaar

Signe Pike left behind a career in Manhattan to undertake a magical journey in search of something to believe in again. In a sweeping tour through England, Ireland, Scotland, and beyond, she takes readers to dark glens and abandoned forests, ancient sacred sites, and local pubs, seeking those who might still believe in the mysterious beings we've relegated to the dusty corners of our childhood imaginations: Faeries. But as Signe attempts to connect with the spirit world, she'll come to view herself and the world around her in a profoundly new way.

Engaging and full of heart, Faery Tale is more than a memoir--it's the story of rekindling the spark of belief that makes even the most skeptical among us feel like a kid again.

About the Author

Signe Pike worked in publishing before leaving New York City to write Faery Tale. The memoir earned a "Best of 2010″ nod from Kirkus Reviews in addition to receiving glowing reviews from Harper's Bazaar, Women's Adventure Magazine, and renowned author and spiritual leader Marianne Williamson. Pike has been featured on National Public Radio's "To the Best of Our Knowledge" along with Salman Rushdie, Neil Gaiman, and A.S. Byatt. She currently works as a freelance editor and writes full time in Charleston, SC where she is at work on her next exploration into things unseen. Visit her website at signepike.com
