"One of the most extraordinary works of fantasy, for adults or children, published so far this century."—Time magazine on the Fairyland series; perfect for fans of IMPOSSIBLE CREATURES.

Twelve-year-old September lives in Omaha, and used to have an ordinary life, until her father went to war and her mother went to work. One day, September is met at her kitchen window by a Green Wind (taking the form of a gentleman in a green jacket), who invites her on an adventure, implying that her help is needed in Fairyland. The new Marquess is unpredictable and fickle, and also not much older than September. Only September can retrieve a talisman the Marquess wants from the enchanted woods, and if she doesn't . . . then the Marquess will make life impossible for the inhabitants of Fairyland. September is already making new friends, including a book-loving Wyvern and a mysterious boy named Saturday.

With exquisite illustrations by acclaimed artist Ana Juan, Fairyland lives up to the sensation it created when author Catherynne M. Valente first posted it online as a serialized novel. For readers of all ages who love the charm of Alice in Wonderland and the soul of The Golden Compass, here is a reading experience unto itself: unforgettable, and so very beautiful.

The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making is the first book in the Fairyland series by Catherynne M. Valente, with beautiful black-and-white illustrations by Ana Juan. Catherynne M. Valente is the New York Times bestselling author of the Fairyland series, for young readers, and the author of many books for adults, including Radiance.

The adventures continue in the rest of the Fairyland series, including The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There (Volume Two), The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut the Moon in Two (Volume Three), The Boy Who Lost Fairyland (Volume Four), and The Girl Who Raced Fairyland All the Way Home (Volume Five.) Not since Oz has there been a land, or a cast of characters, so rich and entrancing. This deluxe paperback edition contains bonus materials, including interviews with the author and the illustrator.

A glorious balancing act between modernism and the Victorian Fairy Tale, done with heart and wisdom.” —Neil Gaiman, Newbery Award–winning author of The Graveyard Book

“September is a clever, fun, stronghearted addition to the ranks of bold, adventurous girls. Valente's subversive storytelling is sheer magic.” —Tamora Pierce, author of The Immortals series

“A mad, toothsome romp of a fairy tale—full of oddments, whimsy, and joy.” —Holly Black, author of the Spiderwick Chronicles

“When I saw that this book reminds me simultaneously of E. Nesbit, James Thurber, and the late Eva Ibbotson, I don't mean to take anything away from its astonishing originality. It's a charmer from the first page, managing the remarkable parlay of being at once ridiculously funny and surprisingly suspenseful. Catherynne Valente is a find, at any age!” —Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn

“This is a kind of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by way of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland—it's the sort of book one doesn't want to end.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“[Fairyland creates] a world as bizarre and enchanting as any Wonderland or Oz and a heroine as curious, resourceful and brave as any Alice or Dorothy. Complex, rich and memorable.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Lasts long and helps a ton!
The bottle of shampoo has lasted me about two months (I shampoo everyday). I have scalp psoriasis in patches on my scalp and behind+on my ears and I will say this does help in breaking up the patches with scrubbing. I usually let it sit while I wash my body and then once I rinse my hair I will rub the patches behind my ears and they will just roll up and come off. It's really soothing and doesn't smell AT ALL. I don't see a complete clear up of my psoriasis but it helps in the process of keeping a clear scalp. I use a mometosone furoate cream or topical hydrocordisone on my patches when I have bad days and that plus this shampoo is as good as I've ever felt about my scalp. If you're looking for a cure, don't buy this because that's not what this is and you'll feel you've wasted your money. If you want something that will give results of ANY kind because you have run out of other options, spend the few extra dollars and try this. As a side note, this foams up great if you apply UNDER you hair instead of right on top. It's harder to spread if you put it directly to the top of your head. I've also found that it has lasted over 2 months (good for the amount you get) at about a quarter size each wash. I also only use the conditioner when I feel my hair is super dry or needs a boost as I have naturally oily hair (hence the wash every day) and have only used about half the bottle in the 2 months I've had it. I'll be sticking with this brand for now!

CONTAINS WHEAT!!!
I’m so disgusted and disappointed. I started having issues with build-up & dandruff again, so I ordered a new bottle, remembering how well this used to work for clarifying & healing my scalp. After using it for about 6 weeks the buildup was better, but I had all these swollen, raised areas all over my scalp that were extremely itchy. I figured it was seborrheic dermatitis taking a long time to clear up. Of course, I scrubbed those areas extra well (insert face-palm here). I have an old bottle of it at my parents’ house that I used over Christmas, and I was both flake and itch free. When I came home it started up again, and I noticed my hands were also breaking out again really severely as well. I now know to suspect my personal products. Naturally I went for the non-allergy friendly brands whose ingredients change on a whim first. Nothing. Finally grabbed the shampoo, thinking that couldn’t possibly be it— and to my shock and amazement, it IS. They don’t even try to hide it with different nomenclature. I’d take a picture to show you how badly this tears up my hands, but I literally just got them calmed back down with steroid cream so the visual effect isn’t as impressive. This makes me want to stop using all of their products, which I’ve depended upon rather heavily because of my allergies & sensitivities. I’ve been using various products from Puriya for YEARS because of it being allergy friendly. I’ve even recommended their products to our patients at my natural health practice. We even considered getting a wholesale account to carry them. Now I don’t feel like I can trust ANY of their products.

4A/4B Hair with Cradles Cap Testimonial
I've had cradles cap since I was a little girl. It's these big flakes of scalp that are itchy and embarrassing and just look terrible when out of control. Plus my hair is thick so it's hard to remove. It can be caused by a mild fungal infection or hormonal imbalance. I've only tried natural remedies because other places would either offer medications or expensive prices for their products and I didn't want that at all. I tried using tea tree oil, that only made it worse because the bacteria feeds on oil, leaving my scalp okay for the first day then tight the next. I tried Head & Shoulders, Dandruff and Sulfur Shampoos but they only lasted so long and dried out my hair terribly. I figured what could I lose trying this, and I'm elated that I purchased it. The ingredients in here are perfect for me, I can't remember a time when my scalp was so clear, clean, and itch-free. No more embarrassment when going out, no more flaky scalp/skin. Paired with my silicone scalp massager, washing my hair and scalp has become a breeze and I've only used it twice! The smell is nice and did I mention that its very moisturizing for my hair, which is hard to come by in shampoos. This product is all-natural and very well made, and for it's price you're getting a great deal! Trust me you won't be disappointed.

Amazing Cream! Like Magic for Me!
Somehow I triggered an eczema flare, and this time it hit my face. I had little bumps everywhere, my skin felt extremely dry and painful, and even under my eyebrows was sore. I’d only ever used eczema creams for my body, so I had nothing meant for my face. I searched for a facial option and this had great reviews and photos that made it look like it worked almost instantly. It arrived in one day, and I used it that night. The cream is very smooth, creamy, and incredibly soothing. By the next morning, my face was back to normal. It did sting slightly when I applied it, but only because my skin was so irritated, not because of any harsh ingredients. The relief was almost immediate. My skin felt soft, smooth, and calm again, and all the irritation cleared up like it was never there. It has a pleasant scent and is very moisturizing. Honestly, it felt like magic. This was a true lifesaver in the moment, definitely a face saver. It isn’t inexpensive but at the moment anything that worked would’ve been worth the price. I highly recommend it.

Love This Stuff!
I have skin allergies to anything with fragrance, so I get a lot of eczema flare ups. Not only does this not cause flare ups, but it helps soothe any irritation I have on my face. It’s also not too heavy and doesn’t leave a film feeling or cause breakouts like a lot of the other creams I’ve tried with colloidal oatmeal. Really love that they were able to work such a helpful, soothing ingredient into such a nice formula!
