Have you ever wished for something with your whole heart? As a child, Robert Ogilvie Crombie (Roc) made a wish as he dropped a penny into a wishing well - he asked to be able to see fairies and talk to them. Follow Roc's path in The Gentleman and the Faun as, many years later, he meets the faun Kurmos in the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh, discovers the realm of the elementals and, eventually, meets the great god Pan himself. Through his experiences Roc becomes closely involved with the Findhorn Community, where he meets further elementals who give him sound advice as to how the gardens should be cared for in order to work in harmony with nature. Today, more than ever, the information in The Gentleman and the Faun is a reminder to us all of the importance of our relationship with the nature kingdom, showing how to work in harmony with the elementals and perhaps, just perhaps, to actually meet these enchanting beings, the guardians of nature.
