Synopsis
This literary fantasy marks the author's debut. In 1949, a band of hobgoblins living in the woods near a remote American farmhouse kidnap seven-year-old Henry Day and substitute one of their own, a changeling who himself was once human. As the changeling Henry Day gradually reclaims his lost humanity and recalls dim scraps of his original German childhood as a piano prodigy, the first Henry Day, now called Aniday, leads a feral, lonely existence as he transforms into a faery.

Publisher's Note
Stolen by changelings from his family and home, Henry Day is given the name Aniday by the ageless and magical beings, who replace him with another child who takes his place with his parents, a young boy who possesses an extraordinary gift of music but whom is haunted by persistent memories of a life in another time and place. A first novel.

Industry Reviews
"[A]n impressive novel of outsiders whose feelings of alienation are more natural than supernatural."
(01/23/2006)

"Take that, Bilbo Baggins! Donohue's sparkling debut especially delights because, by surrounding his fantasy with real-world, humdrum detail, he makes magic believable."
(02/01/2006)

"On the surface, [Keith] Donohue may seem to have written a clever debut novel about fairies. But the real triumph of the book is that, while our backs were turned, he has performed a switch and delivered a luminous and thrilling novel about our humanity."
