Faeries of Tasmania
Collected sightings around Tasmania
Faeries of Tasmania series
UPDATE – Vol 3 will be available from the 18th October through Tassie bookshops and some bookshops on the mainland.
Vol 1 & 2 and the new novella look great together. If you’re new to finding out about the series, welcome. The novella is due out this Christmas 2026.
Vol 1. Introduces you to Lady Plummage. Her fascination for Tasmanian faeries after seeing one as a young girl up on Cradle Mountain has led her to travel across the diverse landscapes of Tasmania, collecting faery encounters from witnesses. You’ll find 20 within the book, each encounter have been beautifully illustrated to sit next to each story. You’ll find out about Lady Plummage’s fascination for Edith S Brown, the 1900s Hobart chocolatier and her collection of merchandise from the mysterious Edith.
Vol 2. Builds on Edith’s story. Lady Plummage believes Edith has something to do with the faeries found in Tasmania.We also have another 20 faery encounters with illustrations.
Vol 3. The Bind. Within these pages of the novella, Lady Plummage has strung together evidence for an amazing story. Sprinkled throughout, Terry has again weaved his magic to bring it to life.

Book 3
Book three in the Faeries of Tasmania series has now been written and illustrated. It will be different to the first two. The third will be a novella, written by Lady Plummage, who has been working hard, stitching evidence together of how the faeries came to be in Tasmania.
Terry has finished the black and white illustrations and overall design of the book. It looks stunning.
We hope you will enjoy the next chapter in Edith’s life.
First look at ‘Faeries of Tasmania’ Vol 2
Lady Plummage has given us permission to upload the cover and sample spreads from Vol 2 of Faeries of Tasmania.
Following on from the success of the first book, Lady Plummage has done it again with Vol 2.
Along with the 20 new faery interviews accompanied with full colour illustrations, Lady Plummage has delved further into Edith’s life, who is featured on the cover. In Vol 1, Lady Plummage only had a light dusting of evidence about Edith and her connection to the faeries in Tasmania. Vol 2 will go deeper with more evidence brought forward by readers of the first book. With more evidence becoming available, she has managed to piece together her story, from her arrival in Hobart to her disappearance.
Vol 2 will also have an excerpt from the next publication covering Edith’s Story. We are not sure when this will be available, but please drop in from time to time to see the progress of this publication.
Vol 2 is due out this Christmas in various bookshops.
Volume 2 of Faeries of Tasmania
As you may have noticed, we have changed ‘Book 2’ to ‘Volume 2’. Lady Plummage wanted all future posts to have this change to align with her collections of faery witnesses.
As vast as Lady Plummage’s collections are, we can only fit 20 of her favourite sightings within the next volume along with the added story of Edith S Brown, which is changing all the time due to more information coming in from readers of her initial book.
Speaking of Edith, it has come to light her connection with faeries being in Tasmania, has now stalled. More information will be in Volume 2.
Even though Lady Plummage has stalled a little with regards to Edith’s involvement with the faeries, she has gathered enough information to begin writing the novel of Edith’s life. No timeline has been set for this release.
Happy New Year!
This is going to be an exciting year for us here at Faeries of Tasmania.
Considering the success of the faery exhibition we had in Brisbane, we’ll be having more this year, not only in Brisbane but possibly in our home state of Tasmania. More on this as things develop.
And obviously the second book from Lady Plummage will be available for Christmas.
We are also looking into a special epub edition of more faery encounters from around Tasmania. This will be totally separate from the physical books and possibly just a black and white edition of short interviews and sketches that haven’t been included in the full colour editions.
Lady Plummage has only just allowed us to post a little about her book 3. Yes, she is working on book 3! This will be Edith’s story, which you would have learnt about in book 1, book 2 will also go into more detail.
All we know is that Lady Plummage will be writing a novel on what she believes Edith went through during her time in Hobart.
Book 2 illustration
This lovely little faery (in the far right picture above) has taken on the appearance of the Spotted Begonia plant, which is also housing a small Silvereye. They appear to be spying on each other.
Book 2 for Faeries of Tasmania is coming along nicely. Some beautiful pieces are being sent to us from Terry, our illustrator on the project. You can find more about him and his other projects here the7thworld.com or read a brief intro about him here.
Aos Sí exhibition
Aos Sí
(In the irish language means People of the mounds.)
Terry recently joined Sue Wright, from Tiny Owl Workshop, for a faery exhibition at the Brisbane Mt Coot-tha botanical gardens.
The small art studio within the gardens set the scene for a magical display. If you are in the area, it is worth a visit. Take a look.
The exhibition lasted for just a week and was a mixture of sketches, books, prints and sculptures with the theme of faery. People had entered a whimsical world. The small exhibition, had given a big impact on the locals.
Some lovely quotes from people as they wondered around.
{
‘I’ve been coming here for years and this is the first time I’ve walked in and smiled.’
}
{
‘This world makes me feel much younger than 69. Thank you.’

Terry had specially framed a few archival large prints from our book, which were snapped up. Further prints were ordered and delivered to their new homes. The Faeries of Tasmania book was on display along with limited bags, wrapping paper, block prints and T-Shirts. A special sketch was also on display for book 2.
Sue from Tiny Owl Workshop, had some wonderful sculptures of faeries, harpies, faery jingle bells and brooches, just name a few. She also had an amazing motor bike helmet, which was covered in fungi and moss. It was almost as if nature was reclaiming.
Here are some highlights from the week.
