Gwenny is a young maid in sevice, working in a smart house a very long way from her home and her beloved Gran. Imagine her surprise one day when the baby she is asked to mind starts behaving in a very un-babylike way. He bares his strong, sharp teeth; he speaks to her; he argues; finally he explains how he came to be there. What on earth can Gwenny do to help, without incurring the wrath of the fairy folk whose cunning planted him in her mistress's home? 'You're a changeling,' she tells Nat, but her heart goes out to this spiky, troubled creature.
