| Zusammenfassung: | "A fairy is a supernatural creature, described in the seventeenth 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.
Fairies live in Nature, under mushrooms, inside fairy rings, in the buds of delicate flowers, or in fairyland, a curious half-world which exists in the mists just beyond human perception. If they do appear it is to the lost, to the unfortunate, to believing children or lonely knights, in the confusion of twilight, in the middle of deep, dark woods, or on deserted moonlit beaches. When they come it is with a rush of delicate music, the twinkle of fairy lights, dance, song, feasting and bewitching beauty.
This book celebrates these elusive creatures, with poetry and tales of their exploits, and evocative pictures which capture their entrancing, fragile charm."
