Fairies by Southwater

A fairy is a supernatural creature, described in the 17th century as "of a middle nature between man and angels". In folklore they come in many forms: ethereal queens, beautiful enchantresses, the tiny spirits of flowers and trees, mischievous pixies, elves and nymphs. In whatever form they appear to those who believe in them, fairies are always mysterious, magical and secretive. This book celebrates these elusive creatures, with poetry and tales of their exploits, and evocative pictures which capture their entrancing, fragile charm. It includes sections on famous fairies; fairy tricks and good turns; fairy possessions, feasts and sports; fairy homes; and fairy lovers, with poetry by Shakespeare, Tennyson, Chaucer and Milton, amongst others.
