I really expected to like this a lot more than I did. Just couldn't jive with the writing style, unfortunately, but the idea is nifty, and I expect a lot of people will got on OK with the style.

*shrugs*

Recommended in concept, and very worth checking out to see if the style's your thing. ( )

This very droll humor book describes how to contain or take advantage of the fairy menace within one's home, garden, or countryside ambles. It's told through the persona of Reginald Bakeley, a very proper British gentleman who enjoys a properly cooked leg of leprechaun and milk straight from the teat of a fae cow. He breaks it down into techniques, worst case scenarios, and sprinkles throughout stories of his own encounters--and through those, you get a greater sense of the "author." It's amusing, albeit quite dark. The ending even includes addresses for shops in Britain where one can find appropriate supplies, just as you'd find in a real handbook of this sort.

As a writer, I can see this book as an inspiration in my own writing about fairy kind. I also know I want to lend this bookt o my mom, because I'm sure she'll get a kick out of it. ( )
