Goodreads synopsis:
Celtic legend, a malevolent faery queen and the dark underbelly of the theatreworld come to life as two stories of 16th-century London and the modern day interweave in this gripping tale full of dark secrets and magic.
16th-century London, Flea Nettleworth, apprentice to a playwright, watches as his struggling master's fortunes turn, and all of a sudden London is in his thrall. But soon Flea's master can no longer tell where the imagined world ends and the real one begins. Could the arrival of a mysterious Faery Elder trunk hold the answer?
Modern day, Lally lives on a barge, roaming the canalways and performing shows with her puppeteer father. Then, after Lally's father pulls an ancient piece of wood from the canal and fashions it into a puppet, his success seems unstoppable. As her father's obsession with his puppet grows and his plays become darker, Lally begins to wonder if there is something rather sinister, dangerous even, about the wooden doll.

I spotted this one while I was on holiday in the Lake District last week, but I decided not to pick it up while I was there (mostly due to suitcase space!). I do still want to get it though - it sounds like a really unique read. I really enjoy books that have elements of legends, and I also like reading about faeries, so this sounds like a great read to me!
If you've read this one, definitely let me know what you thought of it - I'd be really interested to hear your opinion.
