What happens after the happy-ever-after conclusion to a fairytale romance? In Ms. Leslie’s view, the right people marry and have children. Then the children grow up! And if the family just happens to have a standing invitation to go visiting on the Other Side, each of those three young adults (independent Roselyn, an ‘old maid’ at twenty-two, shy ninteen-year-old Robert, and rebellious Rowena, sixteen), might well fall into a romantic entanglement or two, with someone who isn’t exactly Mortal. Meanwhile, the original fairytale lovers may have become responsible parents, but they're certainly not too old to have another adventure or two of their own! Leslie skilfully brews a magical blend of fantasy, comedy, drama, romance, jeopardy, and heroism into another memorable coming-of-age tale which slips back and forth across the Veil between Regency Scotland of 1813, the timeless Elfin Realm of Summerland, and a few other mundane settings and exotic Realms.
