The era of Swinging London was in full swing, and the world was captivated by the mysterious and enchanting creatures that had long been hidden from human sight. However, as the fairies ventured into the human realm, a profound question echoed through the minds of many: was humanity ready for this revelation?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Swinging Sixties in the UK marked a time of immense cultural and social change, with a vibrant music scene, a flourishing art scene, and a sense of liberation and experimentation. The fairies, with their otherworldly beauty and magical powers, added a new dimension to the tapestry of the city. They danced in the clubs, mingled with the people, and captured the hearts of those who were open to the extraordinary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet, as the fairies integrated into society, tensions arose. Some humans were frightened by their presence, seeing them as threats to their way of life. Others were fascinated by the fairies and sought to understand them, hoping to forge a new relationship with these mysterious beings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first volume of the anthology series delves into these themes and more. In the first story, \"Annan,\" a young faerie is drawn to the lights of Swinging London and leaves her forest home to pursue her dreams of stardom. She meets the beautiful Stella, and their love blooms. However, their happiness is short-lived when Stella disappears, revealing a darker truth beneath the glamour of the city. Annan must confront rejection, betrayal, and the harsh realities of human existence as she searches for Stella and discovers the true nature of the fairies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second story, \"Ailith,\" by Jul Maroh, takes the reader on a thrilling adventure as Ailith arrives in London to investigate a strange rite that is linked to people going missing. She accepts the help of her childhood friend, Elliott, a police officer with a deep-seated hatred for fairies. As Ailith delves deeper into the investigation, she finds herself drawn to the heart of the forest, where she confronts her preconceptions about faeries and makes discoveries that will change her life forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough these captivating stories, the anthology series explores the complexities of human-faerie relations, the challenges of integration, and the search for acceptance and understanding in a world that is constantly evolving. It invites readers to ponder the question: is humanity ready for the extraordinary?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the fairies continue to navigate their way in the human world, the impact of their presence on society will be felt for years to come. Whether they bring joy, magic, or chaos, the fairies have arrived, and the world will never be the same again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 406g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 260 x 195 x 8 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781643375830\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gihef,Jul Maroh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44159989547258,"sku":"9781643375830","price":14.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1680874769087_book.jpg?v=1680984605","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/pixies-of-the-sixties-you-really-got-me-now-9781643375830","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
