Little Book Of Faeries (Pb)

From the winged spirits of Persian mythology to Shakespeare's forest-dwelling troublemaker Puck, the world of the fae has captured our imagination for thousands of years. This pocket-sized book, full of magic, mirth and mischief, draws back the veil on the fascinating history of faerie folklore; different kinds of faerie including sprites, pixies and brownies; faeries in cultures and mythologies across the world; faerie depictions in Western literature, in work by writers such as Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, J. M. Barrie and Arthur Conan Doyle - and much more.
