Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries

Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries charmed me more than any faerie king ever could… the ideal book to curl up with on a chilly winter’s evening. I would follow Emily and Wendell to the ends of the earth. This book is an absolute delight – Megan Bannen, author of THE UNDERTAKING OF HART AND MERCYEnchanting in every sense of the word, Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries is a delight of snow laden forests and changelings, folklore and fairy kings, meticulous footnotes and academic rivalry and adventure. Brilliant, prickly Emily Wilde and her infuriatingly charming fellow scholar have a special place in my heart now. This book is real magic – H. G. Parry, author of THE UNLIKELY ESCAPE OF URIAH HEEPA charmingly whimsical delight, saturated with faerie magic and the equally wonderful magic of humanity… Five dazzling, gladdening stars – India Holton, author of THE WISTERIA SOCIETY OF LADY SCOUNDRELSForget dark academia: give me instead this kind of winter-sunshined, sharp-tongued and footnoted academia, full of field trips and grumpy romance and malevolent faeries. Emily Wilde is a narrator I won’t forget in a hurry, and this book was an invigorating balm for my heart and mind – Freya Marske, author of A MARVELLOUS LIGHTA book so vividly, endlessly enchanting, so crisply assured, so rich and complete and wise and far-reaching in its worldbuilding that you’ll walk away half ensorcelled, sure Fawcett found Emily Wilde’s journal in some sea-stained trunk – Melissa AlbertA darkly gorgeous fantasy that sparkles with snow and magic, this book wholly enchanted me – Sangu Mandanna, author of THE VERY SECRET SOCIETY OF IRREGULAR WITCHESA thoroughly charming academic fairy tale, complete with footnotes and a low-key grumpy romance – Guardian
