An enchanting treasury of fairy lore, as well as an exploration of the history and culture of fairies around the world.
Around the corner, behind the bushes, and just out of sight . . . fairies have spent hundreds of years weaving their way in and out of our homes and gardens to spread their magic. Featuring folklore, mythology, and poetry from around the world, this lovely collection reveals these ethereal spirits’ extraordinary powers and the history behind their existence. From the case of the Cottingley fairies in the early twentieth century, whose photographs fooled thousands (including Arthur Conan Doyle), to the mischievous fairies found in Shakespeare’s
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
, the fascinating stories surrounding these magical sprites are sure to captivate anyone who has ever dreamed of catching one hiding deep within their flowerbed. Whether you’re interested in exploring the history and culture or just want to learn more about fairies’ powers and trickery, you’ll love plunging into the enchanting tales that bring these whimsical creatures to life.
Complete with hundreds of lovely illustrations,
Fairies
reveals the magnificent beauty of these mesmerizing sprites as well as their knack for causing mischief.
