Three stories of adventurous, Regency Romance with a dash of Pixie magic! Come along to the rugged coast of Cornwall, to Castle Keyvnor and the village of Bocka Morrow, where the Earl of Hambly’s family and the locals pursue love, romance and Happily Ever After—with the help and hindrance of mischievous Pixies. Lady Tamsyn and the Pixie’s Curse Her father inherited an earldom and a castle. Has Lady Tamsyn inherited a curse? It's what it feels like when she discovers that she can see the truth behind the lies that men tell. All she wanted on arrival at Castle Keyvnor was to avoid Mr. Gryffyn Cardew, but in a sea of lies, he is the one who always tells her the truth. Together they find that her curse might just be a gift—and their love the key to preventing a tragedy. Lord Lochran and the Pixie’s Kiss When is a kiss actually a curse? When an irate Pixie forbids you to kiss the wrong girl—ever. Unfortunately, Lord Locryn Pendarvis has no idea why girls are falling all over themselves not to kiss him. He only knows that after a certain point, the risk of humiliation outweighs desire. Until he meets Lady Gwyn Hambly again. She’s witty, charming and beautiful—and just as interested in him as he is in her. They’ll do anything to ensure their future together—even fight the supernatural forces aligned against them. Miss Penneck and the Pixie’s Poem Miss Penneck was sublimely content when she at last realized her dream of opening a bookstore—until a handsome printer shows up, claiming the shop space is his. Suddenly, everything is complicated. There’s a Pixie in her shop, her father is obsessed with the notion of her deceased mother returning to visit, and the handsome printer’s enemies have made her a target. Her life is in a tangle, but a Pixie’s poem will show them all that love and connection are always the answer—and the best that life can give.

It has been said since ancient times that Dartmoor is the haunt of the Pixies. In this volume you will find 6 illustrated children’s stories, told in full, about the Pixies of Dartmoor which go some way to explaining who the Pixies are and what they get up to when young heads start to rest heavily on pillows and the Sandman is about spreading his sleep dust. These are the 6 most popular tales about Pixies which are being told in Cornwall and Devon to this day. They Are: Pixy Gathon; or, The Tailor's Needle The Three Trials; or, The Story of Crabby Cross The Seven Crosses of Tiverton; or, The Story of Pixy Picket Fontina; or, The Pixies' Bath The Lady of The Silver Bell The Belfry Rock; or, The Pixies' Revenge But why did they choose Dartmoor? In this most pleasant part of England, there are many hills and rivers, with plenty of woods, and fields, hedgerows, birds, and flowers - and a large tract of country called Dartmoor, where the hills are so high that some of them are like mountains, with a number of beautiful sparkling streams and waterfalls, and a great many rocks, some standing alone, and others piled on the top of the heights in such odd ways, that they look like the ruins of castles and towers built by the giants in the olden time - these are called Tors. They are so lofty that the clouds often hang upon them and hide their heads. And what with its being so large and lonely, and having very few trees, except in one or two spots near a river, Dartmoor is altogether, though a wild, a very grand place. In short it is the ideal place for Pixies to take up residence. Many a Pixy is sent out at night on works of mischief to deceive the old nurses and steal away young children, or to do them harm. This is noticed' poet Ben Jonson who wrote:-- "Under a cradle I did creep By day, and, when the childe was asleep At night, I suck'd the breath, and rose And pluck'd the nodding nurse by the nose." Many Pixies are solely bent on mischief and are sent forth to lead poor travellers a fine dance when trudging home through woods, water, bogs and quagmires. If ever you are there late at night, beware of the light from the Will-o-the Wisp, for it may be a mischievous Pixie intent on having fun at your expense. Not many have really seen a Pixie house. It is often said to be in a rock; sometimes, however, a mole hill is a palace for the elves, or a hollow nut cracked by the "joiner squirrel," will contain the majesty of Pixy-land. Drayton describes their royal dwellings thus: "The walls of spiders' legs are made, Well morticed and finely laid, He was the master of his trade It curiously that builded; The windows of the eyes of cats, And for a roof, instead of slats, Is covered with the skins of bats, With moonshine that are gilded." And now, young friends, having been told that the wild wastes of Dartmoor, are said to be much haunted by Pixies, proceed to these stories which we trust will afford you some amusement in those hours not devoted to your lessons, or to more serious studies.

The Pixies have had a career unlike any other in alternative rock, disappearing as not-quite-the-next-big-things only to become gods in absentia. Doolittle is their knotty masterpiece, the embodiment of the Pixies' abrasive, exuberant, enigmatic pop. Informed by exclusive interviews with the band, Sisario looks at the making of the album and its place in rock history, and studies its continued influence in light of the Pixies triumphant reunion.
