Book Description
A light-hearted friendship story about a homeless, bullied, and orphaned elf called, Zak and his growing friendship with his pink, purple, and pretty fairy friend, Zara. The story begins when Zak shows Zara the Invisibility ball that Jakob the red wizard gave him for all his hard work as a special treat for his birthday. Zak and Zara decide to be rather daring and break with the long-standing Elf, Faun, and Fairy rules and traditions of Doon Hill by going up to have a quick look at the fabled, mysterious, and somewhat confusing world of the humans who live above the secret commonwealth of Elves, Fauns, and Fairies who live under Doon Hill in Aberfolye, Scotland. On their journey, Zak and Zara catch sight of some beautiful and wonderful things and also discover some not-so-wonderful and beautiful things which make them seriously think twice about humans and their lack of respect for the planet and its creatures and its natural beauty. AUDIOBOOK AND PAPERBACK OUT NOW! A note about Doon Hill The 19th century was a funny time in Scotland when there were many tales told of elves, fauns and fairies that lived quietly and secretly under the wooded hills of Aberfoyle. But for the Rev Robert Kirk, an interest in the magical life of the little creatures saw him come to an unfortunate end, apparently. The minister at Kirkton Church from 1685 to 1692 wrote the book: The Secret Commonwealth Of Elves, Fauns, And Fairies. But his revelations incurred the wrath of the sprites and he was captured by them on Doon Hill. The minister was taken down to the land of the fairies. Some say his body was placed inside a tree on top of the hill. A substitute body was placed on the ground by the fairies, local people mistook it for the minister and buried it in the nearby cemetery. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Front cover logo: Ai Free Publication ® ™ is a UK Registered Trademark.

Book Description
By the New York Times bestselling author of The Bone Clocks and Cloud Atlas | Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize Selected by Time as One of the Ten Best Books of the Year | A New York Times Notable Book | Named One of the Best Books of the Year by The Washington Post Book World, The Christian Science Monitor, Rocky Mountain News, and Kirkus Reviews | A Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist | Winner of the ALA Alex Award | Finalist for the Costa Novel Award From award-winning writer David Mitchell comes a sinewy, meditative novel of boyhood on the cusp of adulthood and the old on the cusp of the new. Black Swan Green tracks a single year in what is, for thirteen-year-old Jason Taylor, the sleepiest village in muddiest Worcestershire in a dying Cold War England, 1982. But the thirteen chapters, each a short story in its own right, create an exquisitely observed world that is anything but sleepy. A world of Kissingeresque realpolitik enacted in boys’ games on a frozen lake; of “nightcreeping” through the summer backyards of strangers; of the tabloid-fueled thrills of the Falklands War and its human toll; of the cruel, luscious Dawn Madden and her power-hungry boyfriend, Ross Wilcox; of a certain Madame Eva van Outryve de Crommelynck, an elderly bohemian emigré who is both more and less than she appears; of Jason’s search to replace his dead grandfather’s irreplaceable smashed watch before the crime is discovered; of first cigarettes, first kisses, first Duran Duran LPs, and first deaths; of Margaret Thatcher’s recession; of Gypsies camping in the woods and the hysteria they inspire; and, even closer to home, of a slow-motion divorce in four seasons. Pointed, funny, profound, left-field, elegiac, and painted with the stuff of life, Black Swan Green is David Mitchell’s subtlest and most effective achievement to date. Praise for Black Swan Green “[David Mitchell has created] one of the most endearing, smart, and funny young narrators ever to rise up from the pages of a novel. . . . The always fresh and brilliant writing will carry readers back to their own childhoods. . . . This enchanting novel makes us remember exactly what it was like.”—The Boston Globe “[David Mitchell is a] prodigiously daring and imaginative young writer. . . . As in the works of Thomas Pynchon and Herman Melville, one feels the roof of the narrative lifted off and oneself in thrall.”—Time
