Not once upon a time, but right now, in a forest called Old Oak Wood, faeries frolic, invisible to those humans who choose not to believe in them. In A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S FAERY TALE, doll maker Wendy Froud and award winning fantasy author Terri Windling collaborate to tell the story of one of these elusive fellows, a young tree-root faery named Sneezle. Each page of this delightful book is graced with an elaborately staged photo of Froud's doll creations in their natural habitats, paired with Windling's story of Sneezle's unlikely heroism. Sneezle and his diaphanous friends are adorable enough to charm children and adults alike. Sneezle's adventures begin when he sets out to fetch the Midsummer crown for King Oberon. Meanwhile, the Faery Queen Titania is found asleep, victim of a powerful magic spell. The hopes of the faery kingdom ride on Sneezle who encounters fascinating forest characters, discovers the identity of the wicked sorceress who has enchanted the queen, and learns about courage and loyalty. He also figures out that being 'same old Sneezle' is a fine thing to be.… (altro)
Windling and Froud create a magical little tale of a young dwarf named Sneezle who can't seem to do anything right. Sneezle always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time - until he meets the Faery King Oberon and must go on a quest for the midsummer's crown. Sneezle may be an unlikely hero, but his heart is in the right place for him to help the rightful Queen of the Forest Titania be crowned before the celebrations of the night begin. ( )

This is a faery story. It doesn't begin "once upon a time" or "in a land far, far away"...it begins here in the world we know, in a forest called Old Oak Wood.

And Sneezle sat, eyes wide with wonder, magic clutched in his small hand...as the Piper of the Dawn called the rising sun to a cloudless sky.
