There may be worse fates than spending a few months at Idlewood, Laurie thinks as the Chicago winter howls around her. Certainly her Aunt Ida’s invitation is well-intentioned, and she can't really have meant what she said: “I have nothing of which to complain, considering my age. I only hope I will be taken before my mind fails. Fairies in the woods, indeed!” But when Laurie and her brother, Doug, arrive at the family home in the Maryland countryside, they discover that Aunt Ida may have reason to fear…and that something is indeed in the woods.
