The lighting is coming from a candle set on the ground, which is the only thing keeping the "folk" at bay. The bag she's holding, to her, has more importance than her own life, which is why it's so prominant and her face is not. 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars. Everything about the book-the setting, her mind, the metaphores-had to do with cellars. Margo Lanagan (Goodreads Author) (shelved 18 times as selkies) avg rating 3.68 4,290 ratings published 2009. She's a spooky girl who chopped her weird silvery hair short and pretended to be a boy, while her entire life revolved around the cellars she practically lives in. It made the main character seem like a vulnerable or spooked little girl. I was very surprised and pleased by the book.īut the cover art sucked. The way she thinks is just so totally.interesting. The book was The Folk Keeper by Franny Billingsley, a really terribly interesting book from the point of view of one such "folk keeper." Not a typical story in the least, it really is like reading the journal of and getting inside the head of a very spooky little individual. This was done the first semester of my junior year.
