Question 5

Do I need to live in the Cotswolds to enjoy Tales from Fairyland?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. While the letters are inspired by real places in the Cotswolds, you don’t need to live nearby to enjoy the stories. The locations are woven into the letters as part of the folklore and unfolding narrative. Many places (like "Nympsfield" or "Puzzlewood") already sound as though they belong in a storybook.

For some readers, these places may become inspiration for future visits or walks. For others, they simply remain part of Fairyland’s world, rooted in the landscape that inspired it. Tales from Fairyland is written to be enjoyed wherever you live.
