The Stolen Child is a fantacy about a seven year old boy, Henry Day, who is stolen by the wood fairies who are changelings. The oldest wood fairy changes himself to look like Henry and takes his place. The remaining fairies are in charge of teaching the original Henry, who they now call Aniday and has been changed into a fairy, how to survive in the wild as a member of their troup. The story follows both characters' lives through their new lives and the cofussion they go through living in their new worlds. It is an interesting story but not a page turner.
