The Good Fairies of New York tells the fish-out-of-water story of two Scottish thimble fairies who find themselves Manhattan. The fairies hook up with two humans, Kerry (complete with colostomy bag) and Dinnie (antisocial to the extreme), for bawdy pleasure, but they also find time to help Kerry and Dinnie get their act together. A book that brings together race riots and Scottish folklore, The Good Fairies of New York is anything but a typical fairy fantasy.
