The Stolen Child by Keith Donohue
Seven-year-old Henry Day is kidnapped by fairy changelings living in the dark forest near his home - ageless beings whose secret community is threatened by encroaching modern life. As he grows older the new Henry Day becomes haunted by vague but persistent memories of life in another time and place.
A welcome addition to the field of contemporary fantasy..sparklingly quirky.. wistfully elegiac...Overall it is a gently redemptive parable about becoming oneself * Scotland on Sunday *
