I’m so happy to say that “New York Fairies: A History of the Little People of the Empire State” releases today! I had so much fun gathering these stories from Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, the Hudson Valley, the Mohawk Valley, the Adirondacks, and the Finger Lakes.

This is a ravine south of Syracuse, NY, which features in my book “New York Fairies,” out July 8. According to legend, the slopes (seen here through the trees) were worn smooth by the Haudenosaunee Little People who liked to slide down them. #folklore #newyork #littlepeople #fairies

Happy Friday!
My peonies are in bloom, and each year I remember Grandma Ruth saying, “Ants work like fairies to open the blossoms.”
And she believed it.
