It was exciting to hear Rayne Allinson & Mel Bush on ABC Radio, talking about the ‘Faeries of Tasmania’ book. It’s so nice to hear people enjoying the local book and also what is ahead with future publications.
While it’s available, you can listen to the review from ABC Hobart radio here. Move to 2:33:10 in the timeline to hear:

We have been so lucky to have readers come forward with further information on Edith S Brown, the chocolatier. You may have read about her in book 1 of Faeries of Tasmania.
Her story has grown dramatically as evidence comes to light. And, is very exciting. It appears Lady Plummage’s thoughts on her being connected to the faeries in Tasmania are correct.
Vol 2 will delve a little more into her life with diary entries and travel records that have emerged from kind readers.
Lady Plummage has acquired some more of Frears paraphernalia too.
We will let you know when it becomes available.
Things have slowed here at Faeries of Tasmania. Lady Plummage has decided to rest for a while. She has been travelling a lot, gathering faery accounts from around Tasmania, which has taken its toll. She will take time out as we collate and organise book 2.
In the meantime here are some snippets from book 2. We know you’d like to see more, but things could change to the structure of the book as new information for both the faeries and Edith S Brown come to light.
Thank you so much Avalon for the wonderful review.
Terry has been busy creating sketches for Lady Plummage’s approval. Book 2 is looking amazing, but we have so much more to do.
With the amazing reception that the first book is receiving, we are well and truly into book 2. New faeries from different locations around Tasmania, plus we are getting much more information about Edith S Brown. We won’t be able to fit everything we know about her, but we’ll certainly be having some exciting evidence.
We are also working with the Port Arthur Historic Site, with a couple of faery sightings that may be in book 2. We’ll have to see how we go for space. It could push out to a book 3 🙂
Terry is also busy translating some of the descriptions to illustrations.
It’s a busy time here at Faeries of Tasmania.
As we welcome in 2023, we also welcome a year for discovery into more faery interviews. Book 1, which was released last year, throughout Tasmania, introduced Lady Plummage and her endevours to the world.
Book 2 has begun. We delve deeper into Edith’s world and what she was really doing here in Tasmania. Although we don’t have all the answers just yet, we are seeing glimmers of a story that stretches half way across the world.
We are excited to say that book 2 has officially begun.
Lady Plummage has curated more interviews from her vast archives for book 2. We have also enlisted Terry to begin illustrating the descriptions from the faery witnesses.
We’ll have more updates on Edith S Brown in Hobart and hopefully find her connection to the faeries of Tasmania.
Lutruwita, which is the
traditional land owners name given
to this beautiful state of Australia,
holds a few secrets.
Some people in Lutruwita or Tasmania, have witnessed faeries for many years. Some have been merely shadows, whilst others have had closer encounters. Up until now, the sightings have been kept to family dinners and close friends.
Lady Plummage has been collecting sightings of faeries in Tasmania for many years and is now slowly releasing her interviews, describing various faeries around the state. It has taken a while for Lady Plummage to build trust with the witnesses and for them to share their story.
During the interviews the witnesses have given faery descriptions, which have been illustrated by Terry Whidborne. Further illustrations will happen as more sightings are unearthed.
No-one really knows where they have come from or how many reside in Tasmania. They seem, as described by the witnesses, to be varied in appearance.
The original owners of this land say they are not from here. Not originally.
Along with Lady Plummage, is a small dedicated team helping her mission to show the world what others have seen on this amazing little island at the bottom of the world.
