Sylvie and Bruno are a very small fairy couple, that live under the leaves of a forest. They have fallen in love. They are also part of the imagination and dreams of Michael, one of the few humans that see fairies. They only visit when he sleeps. This book is engaging, very fantastical, and random and this really has no plot.....
I really enjoyed this, despite the lack of plot. Lewis Carroll was a visionary and so ahead of his time

“In his novel Sylvie and Bruno, Chapter 8, Carroll describes the difficulty of having tea inside a falling house.”

You needn't cry so much about it. You're not killed yet—though if you were, you couldn't cry, you know, and so it's a general rule against crying, my dear!

The first rule is, that it must be a very hot day—that we may consider as settled: and you must be just a little sleepy—but not too sleepy to keep your eyes open, mind. Well, and you ought to feel a little—what one may call 'fairysh'— the Scotch call it 'eerie', and perhaps that's a prettier word; if you don't know what it means, I'm afraid I can hardly explain it; you must wait till you meet a Fairy and then you'll know.
