The Moonlight Market

I've always liked Joanne Harris's short fairy tales that she has posted online over the years. This book spins an original fairy tale about the ill-fated love between the Moth King and the Butterfly Queen, and intersperses it with a time-shifting urban fantasy set in London - which turns out to be the same story. As someone who lives close to the home of the Cottingley Fairies, I love the link between glass plate photography, lepidoptery and fairies. I also like the idea that, when walking in a place like London, with centuries of history overlaid, you can slip through… show more.
