THE ILLUSTRATED ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF FAIRIES Anna Franklin, illustrated by Paul Mason & Helen Field
If you have a preconceived idea of what a fairy should look like, open this book and think again. As the informative, wide-ranging entries show, many of the creatures we now call fairies began their existence as gods and goddesses who were demoted by subsequent religions to fairies and nature spirits. Others are, and always have been, creatures of other realms occasionally wandering into ours. They come in all shapes and sizes, and from all around the world. Some are friendly, others not. Anna Franklin spent six years refining the data for this book and adding to it her already vast knowledge of the fairy realm, and for the serious student or anyone with an interest in fairies, there is no better starting point. 288pp, 198mm x 274mm, illus. in colour, softback, 2004
