- The Lord of the Rings. Eileen would cheer on the hobbits on their epic quest, not be at all surprised at Saraman's behaviour and generally see this book as a documentary of what life in a magical work is like rather than as a work of fiction.

AuthorI'm Allison Symes and I write novels, short stories as well as some scripts and poems. I love setting my work in my magical world, the Fairy Kingdom, and my favourite character is Eileen, who believes hypocrisy is something that happens to other people without caring that statement is hypocritical in itself! Eileen is huge fun to write for and about. Archives
