Why read it?

1 author picked Finding Faeries as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Have you ever had a book actively try to stop you from reading it? This non-fiction book was guarded like all doorways into Fairie. Every time I sat down to read it the kettle would come to a boil, or the phone would ring! I read it cover to cover though. Even finding it again to tell you about it was a challenge.

From Helen's list on learning the old legends.
