Description

An unforgettable novel from one of America's greatest living storytellers, 'Summerland' is about redemption and the true nature of heroism. Ethan is a young hero on a quest through the strange world of American Faery. Since baseball is the favorite game of American fairies, or 'ferishers' as the North American Fairy Folk call themselves, this is necessarily a story of baseball. Zeppelins, werefoxes, Indians and Indian mythology, sasquatches, wendigos, Alaska, the haunted, 161-year-old husk of George Armstrong Custer, and a boy who thinks he's an android also figure in the action. Along the way, the hero and heroine find themselves and each other; a band of Ferishers triumphs over their ancient enemy and finally find someone new to play baseball against; a widower's heart will heal as his airship conquers the Northern sky; and a burned-out Colombian slugger named Rodrigo Buendia will find redemption in discovering, with Ethan Feld and Jennifer T. Rideout, the true nature of heroism.
