Dryad Book Box — One-Off Box: February
Meticulously curated boxes for fantasy fiction fans, delivered straight to your door.
Our February Theme is:
Low Fae & Lost Fables
Our book of the month is Greenteeth by Molly O'Neill – a charming, British folklore-infused cosy fantasy adventure, from the perspective of a lake-dwelling low fae.
When a witch is thrown into her lake by a manevelot pastor, Jenny Greenteeth forms a plan to take back the village. But there is more to the pastor – and to Jenny – than meets the eye...
This box will include...
- A paperback copy of Greenteeth, with a signed bookplate.
- Three page overlays, featuring scenes and characters from the book, illustrated by Bri Boehm (@beforeviolets)
- An exclusive letter from the author.
- A cosy & warming blend of tea to enjoy while you read.
Our boxes are packed with care in-house. Books are gift-wrapped, and our packaging is sustainably sourced and plastic-free. Boxes are £22 + P&P, and are sent via Royal Mail Tracked 48 or via International Tracked.
Please note, this is a single box, not a monthly subscription.
Boxes ship on the final week of every month. Our February box is due to begin shipping on February 26th.
Due to the recent changes in EU shipping regulations, we are sadly unable to ship to the EU, including NI.
More about Greenteeth…
'A CHARMINGLY MONSTROUS DEBUT' T. Kingfisher, author of Nettle and Bone
Narrated by a lake-dwelling monster, Greenteeth is an utterly charming tale of fae, folklore and found family, perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher.
Beneath the still surface of a lake lurks a monster with needle-sharp teeth. Hungry and ready to pounce...
Jenny Greenteeth has never spoken to a human before, but when a witch is thrown into her lake by an angry mob, something makes Jenny decide she's worth saving. Temperance doesn't know why her village has suddenly turned against her, only that it has something to do with the malevolent new pastor. All she wants is to return to her husband and children, still trapped under his baleful influence.
Though they have nothing in common, these two unlikely companions must band together on a magical quest to defeat the evil that threatens Temperance's family, Jenny's lake, and possibly the very soul of Britain.
'Charming, magical and intensely human, with grace notes of Pratchett and T. H. White, Greenteeth is a masterclass in the art of storytelling.'
Tom Holt, author of The Portable Door
'Greenteeth is a delight - a joyful, warm-hearted adventure, riddled with unique characters and poignant friendships, rooted deep in old magic and myth. Jenny's voice will live in your head long after you leave her story behind.'
H. G. Parry, author of The Magician's Daughter
'This cosiest of swamp villains . . . stands proud with the likes of Granny Weatherwax and the Wizard Howl against the creeping evils of this world. Drown me, Jenny, and pick your teeth with my bones - only, let's be friends.'
C. S. E. Cooney, World Fantasy Award Winning author of Saint Death's Daughter
