September, terribly bored of her mundane life in Omaha, is delighted when she's visited by the Green Wind and the Leopard of Little Breezes, who spirit her away to Fairyland. There, she takes on a quest for a witch to take her magical spoon back from the terrible Marquess, ruler of Fairyland. She gains great friends and allies in A-Through-L, a half-wyvern half-library crossbreed, a blue marid named Saturday, and many other residents of the land, both friendly and dangerous.

''The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making'' is a children's and young adult fantasy novel by [[Catherynne M Valente (Creator)|Catherynne M Valente]], with illustrations by Ana Juan. It was originally published for free online, but was finally put onto paper in May 2011. It deals with the adventures a young girl called September has in Fairyland. [[That Sounds Familiar]], but the book provides a broad knowledge on folklore, and reads like a love letter to those odd Victorian classics with a twist of sardonic humor to them (such as [[Alice in Wonderland]]). A sequel called ''The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There'' is also set for an unknown release date. A prequel, ''The Girl Who Ruled Fairyland—For a Little While'', tells the story of the young girl who became Fairyland's evil Marquess (and is full of spoilers for the first book, so be careful).
