A little about the story
What were fairies, and what did they do? Louise Imogen Guiney sets out to answer the question in a lively tour of the little people of folklore: brownies, bogles, elves, trolls, kobolds, pixies, mermaids, will-o'-the-wisps and changelings.
She gathers old stories from Britain, Scandinavia, Germany and beyond, and writes about them with wit and a real love for the old beliefs. It is half storybook and half guide, and it reads beautifully aloud.
