Book Review: Thirteen Tales of the Fae


Hailed as a "colorful masterpiece" and "enchanting collection" Thirteen Tales of the Fae is a book no fairy lover can go without. The cover design is illustrated to reveal the fae seeming of the three authors. The gatekeeper of dreams holds the key around her neck and holding the hand of the fae of inspiration, the two smile at each other knowing the fae in the center is the force of imagination, making the three complete.

This work includes the talents of writers Clara Gerl, Aleeta Brashear and Sean-Perrin Parker. Gerl is the first one to lead us to the realm where dreams rule over reality. Not only are things not as they seem, as in the story "The Second Sight Under the Sun," but frightening as will o' the wisps and mere mortals spin tales of deceit and fear. Yet there are happy endings as lessons of love are learned and the strength of the heart is revealed.

IrishCreme raises her flute of inspiration to a melodic tune as she welcomes you to her tales. She weaves her way to show the power and strength of the fairy spirit in her story "Faerie Flight," while "The Babe" contrasts fae nature with that of humans, finding out that we are not as different from them as we may seem.

Dreamspinner wields the power of imagination and bids everyone "dreams of joy." Like IrishCreme, her work is influenced by Celtic myth. In "The Wild Hunt" she takes on the persona of a powerful fae who is not just beautiful, but highly influential and strong when confronted by the Unseelie fairies. She also spins the tale of "Rhiannon" where a sick mortal is healed with the power of a fairy ring.

This work is a masterpiece and a necessity to any collector of fae merchandise. Printed on high quality lavender paper it is a joy to flip through for any reader. Many illustrations help to bring the stories to life as well as give a visual representation of the creatures who weave these tales for you. The price for the book is $7.95 including shipping and handling. Copies are available through Ms. Gerl . ISBN 0-9663820-0-5
