The Stolen Child A Novel is the story of two changelings: Henry Day, whose life is taken from him, and the hobgoblin who takes his place. The story is told by each in interleaving chapters as the latter Henry Day grows and becomes a man and has a family. Aniday (the former Henry, now faerie) finds his passions and his place in the feral forest community of faeries in a world that is quickly growing out of faeries altogether.

I suspect this is a book that I would have liked more had a read it instead of listened to the audiobook on a car trip. I didn't like the voice of the latter Henry, and it took Aniday far too long to catch on most of the time. Still, there are occasionally audiobooks that draw me into their world, and this was just not one of them. Not a total waste of time, though, I loved many of the faeries.
