It is just such a stone that leads photographer David Ellwand on a dark journey to the past, one that starts with a musty wooden chest and a nineteenth-century journal and ends with a disappearance as sudden as a vintage camera's flash. In this journal-within-a-journal, illustrated by Ellwand's exquisite photographs, lies a tale of archaeologists and fairies, human hubris and otherworldly revenge, the magic of the natural world and the mystery of the imagination.\u003cb\u003eRuth Ellwand\u003c\/b\u003e, a children's publishing specialist, previously collaborated with her husband, David, on \u003ci\u003eMidas Mouse\u003c\/i\u003e.
