High in the Cairngorm mountains of Scotland live a group of naughty and mischievous faeries. They are quite like the fairies found at the bottom of your garden, except they have crazy hair, a terrible sense of fashion, and they have to watch out for hungry mountain monsters. 
If you ever visit the mountains, look out for tiny doorways hidden on the hillsides. You may be lucky and spot a faerie or two. 

The book is a collection of short stories, describing some of the adventures the faeries get up to.
