The Book Fairies are sharing copies of Paddy From Peru by Mirelle Radley across the UK! Who will be lucky enough to fetch a book today?

My two assistants helped take a picture or two before it was left on the wall!

About the book:

When Mirelle Radley set off for Peru with her cousin Adam, hoping to heal her broken heart, she didn’t expect to meet someone who would change the course of her life forever. Meet Paddy, the Peruvian street dog who met Mirelle one night when he wandered into her eco-cabin – and refused to leave. He returned the next day, and the day after. And before long, he was following her through towns and markets and trekking alongside her through the mountains, never leaving her side. He was free to go, yet he never strayed more than a few steps away. As Mirelle’s trip came to an end, heartbreak struck. She faced an impossible goodbye.

How could she leave behind Paddy – the dog she had fallen in love with and named – who had so clearly chosen her to be his human?

The Book Fairies are sharing copies of Crow: Thief of Magic by Fiona Dixon across the UK. This fairy left these books over the bank holiday weekend in Tintagel for some lucky finders! Maybe you’ll pull Excalibur and find a book?! 🗡️

Who will be lucky enough to spot one?

About the book:

Twelve-year-old Crow is a thief.

Scraping a living on the winding streets of Starsgard, Crow works for the leader of the criminal underworld, stealing from the city’s wealthy ruling class. But when a routine job takes Crow to the home of a mysterious sorcerer, his whole life is turned upside down – and after a planned heist goes wrong, leaving Crow alone and with nowhere to turn, he finds himself a new position as the sorcerer’s apprentice.

Before long, Crow is introduced to the ancient art of dream magic – catching dream essence and using it to create dreams for the rich citizens from whom he once stole. But when Crow learns of an ancient strain of nightmare magic that threatens to unleash devastation on Starsgard, he must make a terrible choice… and decide who he can really trust.

The Book Fairies are sharing copies of The Walking Cure by Annabel Streets across the UK this bank holiday Monday! This book is a Waterstones Book of the Month :)

Who will be lucky enough to spot one on a trail this bank holiday Monday?

About the book:

In this inspirational book Annabel Streets explains the curative and therapeutic benefits of 20 easy-­to-­find landscapes, both rural and urban: from mountains to meadows, disused railway lines to rivers and coastal cliffs to city parks. Streets reveals not only the huge physiological benefits of walking, but also how these are exponentially enhanced by the particular routes we choose to walk. Streets investigates how different landscapes have proven abilities to change how we see, feel and experience ourselves and the world.

With warmth and wisdom, and using a compelling blend of anecdotal and scientific evidence, she identifies the perfect place to walk for over two dozen common states-of-mind, whether it be a canal path to spark creativity, a bustling city to allay boredom or the the shoreline to heal grief and insomnia. The Walking Cure celebrates the joy of walking and shares the extraordinary health benefits that landscape unlocks.

Who will be lucky enough to spot this copy of Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout, hidden by
a book fairy today? If you make your way to this afternoon, you’ll have a nice surprise!

About the book:

It’s autumn in Maine, and the town lawyer Bob Burgess has become enmeshed in an unfolding
murder investigation, defending a lonely, isolated man accused of killing his mother. He has also
fallen into a deep and abiding friendship with the acclaimed writer, Lucy Barton, who lives
nearby in a house next to the sea.
Together, Lucy and Bob talk about their lives, their hopes and regrets, and what might have
been. Lucy, meanwhile, befriends one of Crosby’s longest inhabitants, Olive Kitteridge, now
living in a retirement community on the edge of town. They spend afternoons together in Olive’s
apartment, telling each other stories.
Stories about people they have known –
“unrecorded lives” Olive calls them – reanimating them, and, in the process, imbuing their lives with
meaning.

The Book Fairies are sharing paperback copies of Tina by Niall Harbison! Yes, we are back again to share this wonderful book about an amazing dog!

Who will be lucky enough to fetch one today? Two were left down Low beach this afternoon!

About the book:

It’s not everyday you meet a golden retriever in Thailand.

When Niall came across a dog shackled to a short chain and in a poor state of health something reminded him of his personal battle with addiction. He knew he had to rescue her immediately – golden retrievers are rare in Thailand – but there was just something about this dog in particular that told him she was destined for more. He named her Tina, and what she did next is an incredible tale of survival, hope and love.

Despite her terrible treatment at the hands of humans, she refused to distrust them or feel sorry for herself, and only opened her heart wider – always with a grin (yes dogs can smile) and a reassuring wag of her shaggy yellow tail. From the minute Tina was free of her chains, she got on with what needed to be done, inspiring a dog hospital to be built and named after her and helping dogs from all over the world – whether they’re street dogs from Thailand or rescue pups in Montana. The movement behind Tina has not stopped.

This is her story.
