The Fairies of Nutfolk Wood

Willa's parents have just been divorced, and she and her mother are moving out into the country near their grandmother. It's a beautiful area, and there's a wooden stump that Willa is attracted to.

Willa learns the history of the stump and the fairy-folk that live there and have been seen by other people. She wants to somehow prove their existence. The area is in danger from their drunken neighbor, though, and one of his sons hits Willa with his motorcycle, breaking her arm.

Willa is aided by the fairy-folk who have been watching her. In addition to all this, there's a story of a number of paintings that have been done of the area, and that one of the paintings itself hides a mystery.

This is a really, really good book. The fairies are slow to appear, but everything moves at the pace it should. One of the best books on fairies that I have read.
