Picked this as an audiobook from the library for our family to listen to in the car on vacation (and we finished it up in bedtime installments after vacation), and am glad we did! As a fan of old fae lore in which faeries are not pleasant little beings on the whole, but rather are dangerous and might steal people away, I enjoyed the atmospheric creepiness of this story. It holds true to those traditions, while retaining the magical appeal of tiptoeing around a grimy old house in the forest, or in the forest itself in the dead of night, and discovering the most bizarre of secrets. Our whole family liked it. Also, I extend compliments to the audio narrator, Nicola Barber, who did a fabulous job.
