In August of 1891, three miles west of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, at about four in the afternoon, Gretchen Summers left her father's stone farmhouse out of a blank desire to stroll the countryside. She wouldn't return home until 1922.
For the next sixty years, she would come to fill 107 notebooks with memories, stories, and folktales found in those missing years--all spent , she claimed, in the land of Faerie.
Panned by her family and community as "plumb crazy," Summers' prolific work would sit untouched until the sunset of her life, when this writer had a chance encounter with Summer's aide and great-niece.
In this first collection of true FaerieTales and stories, discover a magical yet familiar land which comes so close to ours, you may find yourself stumbling upon it on an unsuspecting countryside stroll.
A curious young boy wanders too far from home, lead away by a tempting, talking frog, but he gets more than he bargained for.
A young and lonely tea witch finds a friend.
