They met on the night of All Hallow's Eve, a girl child of earth and a boy child of faerie. She spent a night with him in a faerie hall and he spent a day with her on a farm of earth. Together they formed a friendship whose bonds could not be broken with the passing of time.
Child of Faerie, Child of Earth is charming, dreamy, beautiful, and loving. The writings of Jane Yolen and the illustrations of Jane Dyer have brought magic back into the world of children's books.
This is a book to keep, cherish, and place under the pillow on All Hallow's Eve.
