Fairyland (Estonian: Muinasmaa) is a novel by Estonian author August Gailit.[1] It was completed in 1914[2] and first published in 1918,[3] and it was Gailit's first novel.[4]
Fairyland is a story about the adventures of two bohemians, the writer Morin and the painter Bruno Erms, in Estonia during the summer. It is a romantic story in which love and passion alternate with descriptions of the natural beauty in summer and portrayals of village life, combined with humor.[2][3] The main plot of Fairyland takes place on the Meigaste farm, where both Morin and Erms fall in love with the family’s daughter.[2]
The novel was republished in Sweden in 1965, with a preface by Arvo Mägi and illustrations by Endel Kõks, to mark the 75th anniversary of Gailit's birth.[2]
