Metahominids*: Mêta'hôm'i'nîdz: (plural/noune), meayning: Other Men frome the Ancient Greek: meta meayning 'othere.' Hominids meayning 'men.' Commonlye knowne as Fayries. *From Doctor John Dee's 1583 'Inventory of Magickal Correspondences' All of history is secrets and lies. The present is just a cover story. The Fairies of old English folklore were greatly feared, and rightly so. They were known to spread plague and misfortune. They stole human children and left misshapen changelings in their place. Whilst our world has grown more sophisticated, they still follow their old ways. What happens when our two worlds collide? When a mother refuses to believe a child is hers or a man's Fairy wife returns to her kin and he's arrested over her disappearance?Fairies are not pretty confections for children; they are the dark roots of legend.A contemporary British fantasy, The Last Changeling is no fairy story. It reveals the hidden story behind present day real people, historical figures, and true events.
