Knowing that I love all things faerie-related, my sweetheart bought me a beautiful hard-cover book with illustrations and photographs of faeries. Early in our relationship, he had nicknamed me “Augustine,” (the “violet bride fairy”) because he thought her description sounded like me– and because when we ‘met’ via e-mail, my screen name was “violetfairy.”
When I leafed through the book, I found a full page photograph and description of Augustine, including a line that said you should use lilacs to lure her to you. Inside the pages, he had pressed a lilac next to her picture.
