When the centuries-barren orchards of Berrie-on-the-Wyn suddenly bear fruit, it is clear that something strange is afoot â€" and something fey, for this is no ordinary harvest. To partake of the fruits of Faerie is to be changed for good, but not necessarily for the better.From whence come the golden apples, the moonlit silver pears? Who is the motley piper who walks the streets of Berrie, drawing forth magic and mayhem with his music? And how can half of the town vanish into thin air?There may be chaos aplenty in Berrie, but all that's needed to set things straight is a touch of the right light -- and maybe just the right pair of Boots...

Whimsical ensemble fairy tale
I'm usually a fast reader but this tale slowed me down. I feel like the story was well written, with the occasional word that left me seeking a dictionary... But I wouldn't recommend this to readers who prefer character-driven plots. This is about an entire town, so you never get to really know anyone or care about them, beyond the curiosity of what might happen next due to the fairy fruit. So many names, that I honestly gave up trying to remember who anyone was. I enjoyed the whimsy, I just wish I felt more about the story, and despite the length, many of the core mysteries driving the plot are left unsolved.
