I’ve always known where it is, and could show you the place, even in my sleep…
Growing up in the wild Hebridean landscape, Peggy and her best friend Penny are inseparable, with the magical fairy knolls as constant in their lives as church or school. But as childhood passes, Peggy must learn to navigate the boundaries between the ordinary and the otherworldly, especially when the lines between myth and memory start to shift and change…
Does anyone else remember like Peggy does?
A spellbinding coming-of-age narrative, Peggy and the Fairy Knolls blends grounded emotional storytelling with Scottish folklore. It is a richly atmospheric novel that lingers long after reading.
Reviews for Donald and His Seven Cows:
