Publisher's summary

Moql's mother is Folk, one of those tiny fairies who live hidden from mere mortals, and her father is human. Young patrons will empathize as this tiny changeling experiences the fear, sadness, and danger of not belonging. Set against the backdrop of a charming medieval setting, this award-winning audiobook addresses problems that are still, sadly, quite contemporary.

An engrossing tale worth the listen.

A fantastic story for both kids and adults alike. My 10 year old son loved the story and the unique way the characters spoke.

Great Editor for My One of Favorite Stories

I have never heard such a good editor!!! I can tell who each conversational voice belongs to and she speaks the dialects so smoothly!

An imaginative and textured tale full of heart

I have love both this book and this narration since I was a child and am thrilled to see my kids just as addicted. The play of perspectives in the story telling is excellent, the flavor of the setting is rich and full bodied, it is full of human(and not so human) foibles with just the right amount of magic. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Revisited a book my mom read to me when I was a kid

Sometimes you grow up and grow out of a book you had loved. This one absolutely was NOT diminished by time. Perfect wistful autumn read.

Childhood favorite, timeless classic?

i still have my tattered paperback copy of this book and read it many times growing up. this audiobook is the perfect companion! narrated so charmingly, im sure im going to listen again and again.

the story still warms my cold heart and makes me long to visit the moors of scotland and maybe catch a glimpse of a red cap darting behind a bush.

ugh its just so good i cant explain!!

Exceptional book with incredible imagry.

This is our second time listening to this book. All 6 of my children, including my 17 and 15 year old loved the thrilling tale. We felt like we had lost a friend when we finally finished because we missed the story, the well developed characters and the incredible pictures that the author created.
