"Paranormal isn't really the right heading - it's more fairies and other wee folk... There are some I've never heard of (knockers?) so I'll have to get out the dictionary and check them out. Very sweet little collection of short stories which do wrap up nicely with the last one." — penelopewanders (4 out of 5 stars)
