Produced by Hilary Caws-Elwitt; images courtesy Rachel Newman (rachelpages.com) "The Little House in the Fairy Wood" by Ethel Cook Eliot is a children's fantasy novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows a young orphan named Eric who, after a difficult morning spent with the unwelcoming Mrs. Freg and her sons, discovers a magical world within the woods as he escapes from his stifling life. As he ventures deeper into the forest, he encounters kindness and warmth with new friends, particularly Ivra, who is part fairy, and her mother Helma, who provide him with a sense of belonging and adventure. The opening of the book introduces Eric, a young boy mistreated in his orphanage home. Waking to the gruffness of Mrs. Freg, he feels the sting of neglect and expresses his frustration openly. Spurred by a deep-seated yearning for freedom and happiness, Eric leaves home, feeling the presence of magic beckoning him. He slowly transitions from despair to wonder as he is drawn into the enchanting mist of autumn leaves, leading him to a seemingly magical home in the woods. There, he meets a loving family and experiences the warmth of true companionship, which starkly contrasts his previous life. The stage is set for Eric’s journey of self-discovery and personal attachment as he navigates this newfound world filled with fairies, magic, and the possibility of a new beginning.
