To the Editor:
The West Tisbury Library thanks a few of the people who made our first annual Fairy /Troll House building day such a success: Andrew Jephcote, a master gatherer and visionary; Paula Bolash and Trevor Lowther, for gathering and advice; Isabel Littlefield, for inspiration; and Lynne Whiting and Carol Brush, for a gem of an idea.
During this time of emphasis on consumerism, iBooks, e-books, iPads, and iPhones, it is so great to get kids and families outside, building, creating, sharing and noticing the fabulous materials that nature presents us with. Emma Young, our able and gifted fairy house builder, really made it come to life. Thanks so much to all who participated.
