Description: "A Fairy Find" begins with the discovery of a cache of wands. Not only does this provide evidence that the sprites are at large, it also opens the door onto a parallel universe in which we humans exist purely for the amusement of our fairy keepers and reveals that our continued existence hangs by a gossamer thread of fairy whim. Using happenstance images and curious captions, Andrew Lanyon offers a tantalizing glimpse of the tiny, capricious creatures that pull our strings, trip us up, and bend us to their mischievous ends. With words and pictures, this masterpiece of soft surrealism is an irresistible and offbeat gift.
