Bonsoir ! Magikal Fairies members-Here goes a  Y.A. author-name Lari Don,

Here goes her new book: "The Tale Of Tam Linn-"

The story of Tam Linn, who was stolen by the Fairy Queen as a boy, and Janet, who saves him, is my favourite Scottish fairy tale. Several story-lines in the Fabled Beast Chronicles were inspired by elements of this traditional tale: by the fairies’ habit of stealing human children, by Janet’s bravery and by the shape-shifting magic of the Fairy Queen, and it’s also why Helen lives in the Borders, near where Tam Linn is set.

I love this story, and it’s so important to me and the adventures I imagine, that I was honestly quite nervous about turning it into a picture book.

But I am delighted that Philip Longson’s incredible pictures reflect all the magic and darkness and enchantment of the story I try to tell. This is a stunning book, and I am so proud of it. (Mainly because my words are almost irrelevant next to the strength of Philip’s artwork! Wait until you see the snake page, or the fairy army marching…)

Aimed at slightly older children than the cheerful daftness of The Magic Word, The Big Bottom Hunt and my other Picture Kelpies, I hope the Tale of Tam Linn will introduce children (and adults ) to this incredible story.

I have also added 3 Of her titles to the slide-show under the discussion... Marjolein art...

And here goes her website:

Bonjour ! Magikal Fairies members-Here goes a Y.A. book called "Memory's Wake," which is the first Of 3 novel in a trilogy by author Selina Fenech...

Lost in a world full of monstrous fairies, a troubled sixteen year old has to find out who she is, and why her memories were stolen, before she is found by those who want her dead.
She takes the name “Memory” and knows she has just one goal – to find her way home, wherever that is. But the land she’s found herself in is completely unfamiliar. No technology to be seen, and iron is banned, thanks to a pact the humans have with the magical creatures who share their pre-industrial era world. In her t-shirt and torn jeans, Memory knows she’s different, even before she performs impossible magic.

As the fragments of her troubled past are pieced together, even her newly found friends question her humanity. Memory just wanted to know who she is. She never thought she’d have to question what she is.
Haunted by her past, chased by a dragon, wanted by the king and stalked by the strange, handsome savage that seems to know her, everyone is after Memory, and she suspects it’s not just for her eye-catching outfit. Her forgotten past holds dangerous secrets that will challenge everything she believes and change the whole kingdom.

Memory will fight to get back to a family and home she can’t remember but desperately desires, even at the cost of new friendships and romances. On the run with no name and no memories, she thinks she has nothing left to lose. She couldn’t be more mistaken. "

Here goes a link to her [author Selina Fenech] beautiful website too...memoryswake...
