Synopsis
'It is a fact, an absolute fact, that there are creatures on the surface of this earth that have never been observed by man . . .
We may think we have seen all that there is to be seen on this tiny planet of ours.
We most certainly have not.'
There have been stories of the 'little people' - piskies, fairies, Jack O'Lanterns, call them what you will - ever since the world began. Quiet rumours and whispered hearsay are all they amount to, until a twelve-year-old child discovers the truth, hidden away among the briars and brambles high above the Somerset wetlands. The truth is strange and wild - and sometimes deadly.
So powerful is Steve Augarde's imagination, and so compelling his tale of the extraordinary tribes who struggle for survival in the land of human giants, that you too will become a believer and perhaps even be tempted to seek them out for yourself. It's unlikely that you will find them - though they are surely there . . .
You have been granted three wishes, and The Various is but the first.
