The girls at the school are just as Maureen expects: cold and cliquish completely cowed by their cruel ringleader Kathleen. But there's also something weird about these girls something sinister. Why do they slip away in the middle of the night one by one to visit the woods surrounding the school What's their secret society called the Seven Magpies all about - and why does it make them seem so nervous It isn't until Maureen herself falls under the spell of a strange stone a stone that compels her to leave it offerings of food that she begins to understand what's making her schoolmates seem so strange. And then she discovers what the real danger is - - . A realistic yet magical story of what happens when a group of teenagers tampers with the ancient power of the Celts."

As a young adult he lived throught the bloody horror of the trenches of World War I.

THE WORLD GUIDE TO GNOMES FAIRIES ELVES AND OTHER LITTLE PEOPLE.
New York: Avenel 1978. 560 pp 8vo 8 1/4" H. B&w illustrations. First Avenel reprinting of the 1878 G. Bell edition. "Kelpies Korrigans Pixies and Peries Deeves Brownies and Bugaboos - these are just a few of the fantastic figures you will encounter in this unique collection of fairy mythology. Gnomes faries and elves of every imaginable size shape color and demeanor spring to life in this marvelously illustrated guide to the fairy realm. Just one glance at the extensive table of contents reveals the scope and variety of fairy folklore explored here - from Persian and Arabian romance to the mythology of Scandinavia England France Germany and Switzerland. In addition the author includes sections dealing with the more obscure fairy folkore and tradition of Greece Spain Italy Africa and the Middle East. Indeed he has left no stone unturned in accomplishing the task he set for himself: 'to collect arrange and classify and give under one point of view the various ideas and legends respecting fairies and similar beings of the popular creed.' Taken from a variety of sources of popular myth and legend it forms a rich compendium of the superstitions surrounding those enchanting lesser deities 'the little people'. Not only does he explore every type and species but he also traces resemblances and similarities among the fairy traditions of different countries. For instance did you know that the Nis Scandianavia the Kobold Germany and the Goblin England are all names for one species which appears in Scotland under the name of Brownie and that the Brownie is a person of small stature and wrinkled visage is covered with short and curly brown hair and wears a brown mantle and hood In addition Keightley discusses the fairy tradition as it appears in major works of English literature from the Middle Age epic of 'Beowulf' and Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales' to Spencer's 'The Faerie Queene' and Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'." Light wear/wrinkling at top/bottom of spine two repaired small tears at top of spine. Dust jacket has several archivally taped tears - mainly at top of spine/hinges - one with creases light browning at top inside of spine. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Avenel Hardcover

Sperry Margaret translator & adaptor. Zacharias Topelius.
WHERE STORIES GROW. A TOPELIUS COLLECTION FROM FINLAND.
New York: Crane Russak 1977. 94 pp 9 3/8" H. B&w illustrations. "In this collection Zacharias Topelius 1818-1898 reveals to us the wide horizons of his fantasy and his deep concern with the ethical principles which guide a sound life whether it be personal or public. In 'Tikka The Tailor' he plays havoc with personal and community class prejudice. 'Little Genius' reveals the immortal spirit of creativity through a series of comic-tragic episodes. In 'Stars On The Snow' our hearts are moved by the absurd ugliness of race prejudice our minds uplifted by the beauty of the Finnish Winter. 'Where Stories Grow' pokes delicious fun at class snobbishness and ignorance contrasted with the trusting searching naivete of a young lad. 'The Ice King' another name for Sampo the Little Lapp has become one of the most precious tales of Scandinavia. The Arctic landscape with its fierce inhabitants fills the reader with a chill of excitement. 'Butterfly Lover' tells in seemingly simple terms the heartbreak of real and faithful love versus vanity and infidelity. 'Adventures of Sikku' presents a melodramatic description of Cossack warfare and supernatural intervention. 'Lisalill' is a sensitive tale of mystical nature which has deep roots in modern psychiatry with special reference to Jungian interpretation of dreams. 'Fisherman's Dream' a comic tale shows the hazards of greed." Very light edge wear to boards. Dust jacket has light edge wear a few tiny to small edge tears archivally taped - one with soft crease light rubbing and a few tiny scuffs light browning on spine and flap-folds very light browning on rear panel.

First Maddy spied a runaway tom wearing - of all things - a saddle and bridle. The next day her own cat disappared from Grandpa's house. Then on her search for the missing Sabrina Maddy saw an elf. A small fierce elf staring at her with narrow face and bright eyes. Right away she began to hear sounds where sounds should not have been and to understand the speech of animals and birds. But as Maddy was soon to find out magic isn't all wonder and joy. Sometimes Maddy thinks it feels as if your insides have been scrambled. And she isn't sure she likes it. Entirely. This is a powerful story about a great deal more than magic. It is about caring and loss about how we see the natural world and ultimately about responsiblity." Light wrinkling at top of spine.

San Francisco: Night Shade Books 2012. 279 pp large 8vo 9 1/4" H. "1864. London is a city in transition. The Constantine Affliction - a strange malady that kills some of its victims and physically transforms others into the opposite sex - has spread scandal and upheaval through society. Scientific marvels and disasters such as clockwork courtesans the alchemical fires of Whitechapel electric carriages and acidic monsters lurking in the Thames have forever altered the face of the city. Pembroke 'Pimm' Halliday is an aristocrat with an interest in criminology who uses his keen powers of observation to assist the police or private individuals - at least when he's sober enough to do so. Ellie Skyler who hides her gender behind the byline 'E. Skye' is an intrepid journalist driven by both passion and necessity to uncover the truth no matter where it lies. When Pimm and Skye stumble onto a dark plot that links the city's most notorious criminal overlord with the Queen's new consort famed scientist Sir Bertram Oswald they soon find the forces of both high and low society arrayed against them. Can they save the city from the arcane machinations of one of history's most infamous monsters - and uncover the shocking origins of 'The Constantine Affliction'" Very minor wrinkling at top/bottom of spine.
