Elves in the Meadow, Trolls in the Corn is the first adult novel published by author Kay Grayson, following four children's picture books. It is also the first in the Gerogia Ramson series. The title had me hooked before I even began reading! Set in the unlikely locale of Indiana, it is a completely engrossing tale of elves, trolls, and other magical creatures in a fight to save their magic. Georgia Ramson, a mother of three with a mysterious past, was an emotionally damaged woman that was easy to relate to and to love from the very beginning. The story followed not only the magical creatures fight for survival, but Georgia's fight to discover her own strength and find her way through life. From the moment I began reading, I was hard pressed to put it down, even for sleep!
The story was extremely well written and brought you into the story with ease. Using rural Indiana as a backdrop for the story was incredibly unique, literally putting trolls, elves and nymphs in our own backyard. Not only was there the classically, and well done, universal "good vs. evil" theme, there was a lot of humor in the interaction between the characters.
I absolutely can't wait for the next book in the series. If you love a good urban rural fantasy, then you will love this book!!
