Faerie is back - so far, so good. But the trouble is that when you're having fun you might forget who may be listening and in this case, Faerie have really taken their eye off the ball. Deep in his hill, Pan is turning in his sleep, then waking. Wandering the countryside with his Best Feature very much to the fore, he has a devastating effect on everyone and everything, whether in his path or not. The seasons are all to pot and the Mortals are blaming Faeries, Faeries are blaming each other; it's the Faerie way. Pan must be bound, but how and by whom? If you enjoy a mad mix of Goblins, Druids, Faeries, things-you'd-rather-not-meet-in-a-dark-alley and - most especially - the great Pan, Lord of Misrule, then you will love this book.

Have you ever wondered what happened to the faeries you used to believe in? They lived at the bottom of the garden and left rings in the grass and sparkling glamour in the air to remind you where they were. But that was then - now you might find them in places you might not think to look. They might be stacking shelves, delivering milk or weighing babies at the clinic. Open your eyes and keep your wits about you and you might see them. But no one is looking any more and that is hard for a Faerie Queen to bear and Titania has had enough. When Titania stamps her foot, everyone in Faerieland jumps; publicity is what they need. Television, magazines. But that sort of thing is much more the remit of the bad boys of the Unseelie Court, the ones who weave a new kind of magic; the World Wide Web. Here is Puck re-learning how to fly; Leanne the agent who really is a vampire; Oberon's Boys playing cards behind the wainscoting; Black Annis, the bag-lady from Hainault, all gathered in a Restoration comedy that is strictly twenty-first century.
