"The Gypsies in the Wood" is a novella in the Diogenes Club series by Kim Newman. It is set in the 1890s and features Charles Beauregard and Kate Reed.In a prologue, Charles Beauregard is called to investigate after two children, Maeve and Davey Harvill, go missing without a trace in a wood only a few feet across — or, more precisely, after Davey comes back... different. The case is closed when Maeve also reappears, but Charles has a feeling that it's not over.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Eight years later, Davey Harvill has become an artist whose illustrations of fairy lands have been parlayed by a hard-nosed publisher into an empire of twee faerie-themed children's books and toys, with construction underway on a Faerie Aerie theme park — which is plagued by accidents that are whispered to be acts of sabotage perpetrated by actual goblins. Charles and Kate investigate, and find that The Fair Folk haven't finished with the Harvill family. | |

Ambiguously Human: Maeve. Or rather, the thing that came out of the woods all those years ago, which happens to look like her. Also members of the Undertaking, whose smoked eyeglasses are hinted to conceal something... disturbing. | |

Animorphism: One of the characters in Uncle Satt's Faerie stories is Sir Boris de Bruin, an anthropic bear wearing a cuirass and helmet whose backstory is that he was a knight transformed by the Witch-Queen Coelacanth. | |

The Gypsies in the Wood / int_660d1f3e | comment |
Amusement Park of Doom: The publishers behind Uncle Satt's Faerie Stories open up a (intentionally anachronistic) fun park that's seemingly a way for The Fair Folk to snatch children from our world. | |

Another Dimension | |
The Gypsies in the Wood / int_6f572188 | comment |
Another Dimension: The Fair Folk come from another world where the rules are different and time runs strangely. The characters don't think of it in terms of dimensions, but there's a hint of it when the changelings return home at the end, and are described as seeming to get flatter as they approach an entrance that looks like a narrow crack. | |
