After hearing the interview with Signe Pike's "Faery Tale" on the "Inciting a Riot" podcast I knew this was a book that I had to read, and in my own reader way, to experience her journey from my own armchair.
At the start of the book Signe is a woman who is very aware of her disconnection from the spiritual world around her; aware of magic lost in her life. Her solution is to bravely set forth on a quest to the UK to seek out the faery. Many wonderful and enlightening adventures follow, including time spent at Glastonbury and sitting and chatting with the Frouds; my two favorite parts of the book.
As Signe travels to discover the faery, more and more she finds bits of herself that she thought lost or never knew existed. And as a reader, I find that I did as well.
After reading of Signe's travels you may not be a hard and true believer of the faery, but you will find something wonderful about yourself. And I shouldn't wonder if you find a little of the faery touching your life despite yourself.
