Fairies inhabit the ancient East Deanery garden. Theirs is a golden realm beneath the sundial where Queen Gwathawil reigns. When Stephen, an eccentric historian, and his young friend Marie discover this world at the border between spirit and substance all the multifaceted experience of Vision comes upon them, yet they must function in the ordinary world to save what is most exquisite in spirit. Like The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Fairy Garden explores through fantasy the issues of life, the nature of evil and the adventure of spiritual awareness.
