About this listen

On holiday in Scarborough, ten-year-old Freddie Wood and her family meet M.

E. Smurthwaite, an eccentric fantasy author who talks and writes about faeries as if they’re real. Freddie and her siblings strike up a fast friendship with Miss Smurthwaite, distracting Freddie from how her family has suddenly lost the ability to get along.

But things take a turn for the stranger when Miss Smurthwaite claims faeries really exist, and that she was acquainted with the faerie king as a girl. Freddie wants to believe her, but such ideas fly in the face of scientific evidence—until malevolent fae invade Scarborough with the aim of taking back the mortal realm from humanity. Now it’s as if creatures from British and Celtic folklore and mythology have returned with a vengeance.

With the aid of Miss Smurthwaite and some magical companions, the Woods find themselves outwitting spells, decrypting lost secrets, and journeying to the depths of the otherworld to rescue the faerie king and save both the mortal and faerie realms. Along the way, can they also rediscover what it truly means to be a family and salvage their holiday? Just remember, when fell magic threatens: parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
