Seven Wild Sisters: A Modern Fairy Tale Description
This full-color, illustrated companion novel to
The Cats of Tanglewood Forest from two masters of modern fantasy is a captivating adventure about magic, family, and the power in believing in both.
When it comes to fairies, Sarah Jane Dillard must be careful what she wishes for. She may have thought she wanted to meet the fairies of the Tanglewood Forest, but that was before she knew the truth about them. When Sarah Jane discovers a tiny man wounded by a cluster of miniature poison arrows, she brings him to the reclusive Aunt Lillian for help. But the two quickly find themselves ensnared in a longtime war between rival fairy clans, and Sarah Jane's six sisters have been kidnapped to use as ransom. Her only choice is to go after them, and with the help of several mythical friends--from the Apple Tree Man to a cat called Li'l Pater--she'll have to find a way to untangle herself from the fairy feud before she and her sisters are trapped in their world forever.

de Lint remains an author capable of producing wonders in the short form. His ability to create memorable characters with only a few deft strokes turns a sweet and simple tale into something that works better, in many ways, than a novel at evoking a mood and feeling. Only hinting at the larger world and broader concerns of the Newford novels and story sequences, SEVEN WILD SISTERS opens itself within, drawing us deeper into a contained physical space and setting that proves to hold all we could care to fill it with. A terrific book, hopefully with further tales to follow.

Sara Jane was the fourth of seven red haired sisters. She meets an old lady, her name is Aunt Lilian. She lives a simple life on top of a mountain. They became good friends. Sara Jane helped her with chores, and learned about herbs and plants. Also, Aunt Lilian told her fairy tales stories about The Apple Tree Man, The Father of Cats, bee fairies and sangmen who lived in another world. I really enjoyed this book. It was full of fantasy, suspenseful and some of the characters were funny. It was hard to put the book down.
