The Truth About Fairies by Philip Ardagh
Everything you ever wanted to know about fairies. A very funny, entertaining and informative book from Philip Ardagh. Find out the truth about fairy rings, fairy godmothers, will-o'-the-wisp and wailing banshees. Learn how to avoid the pranks, jokes and often more sinister traps fairy folk lay for mortals and find out how to take advantage of fairy magic and the fairy realm. Did you know . . . - In fairyland, time works on a different scale. 900 human years can pass in a single fairyland night (according to some Irish myths). - Fairies LOVE milk (which is probably why they have such good teeth). They often milk cows in the field!
Described as 'a national treasure' by the Independent and as 'one of life's fact-finders' by the Scotsman, Philip Ardagh has written books on subjects ranging from archaeology to space flight, and has still found time to write the bestselling Eddie Dickens children's novels, now translated into over thirty languages, to review children's books for the Guardian ('on a regularly irregular basis') and to appear at events and festivals around the world. He won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize in 2009. He is married with one son.
