Fairies! A True Story
From the forest fairies of West Africa to the magical brownies of Scotland, people have told stories about fairies for a long, long time. In England, two little girls shocked the world when they claimed that they had proof that fairies existed; they had photographs! But are fairies myth? Or are they magic? Fairy fans and beginning readers will delight in this easy-to-read look at fairy folklore and sightings through the ages.
British Fairies
The myths and legends of the Fair Folk are the oldest in Britain and our Fairy lore is unique to this island. Meetings with Faery are well recorded. Humans have always been aware of a form of life called Fairy, but how exactly do we meet these beings? What is their physical form and nature, and how and where do they live? Here is a deep analysis of the traditional knowledge of the nature of Fairies, and their importance to us, combined with an examination of our interaction with Faery.
Fairies
Fairies are classic fairy tale creatures with a rich history in literature and the oral tradition. Through exploring fables about fairies from around the world, this book gives an intimate study of what fairies are and how they have developed over generations of storytelling.
Scottish Fairy Belief
The authorities told folk what they ought to believe, but what did they really believe? Throughout Scottish history, people have believed in fairies. They were a part of everyday life, as real as the sunrise, and as incontrovertible as the existence of God. While fairy belief was only a fragment of a much larger complex, the implications of studying this belief tradition are potentially vast, revealing some understanding of the worldview of the people of past centuries. This book, the first modern study of the subject, examines the history and nature of fairy belief, the major themes and motifs, the demonising attack upon the tradition, and the attempted reinstatement of the reality of fairies at the end of the seventeenth century, as well as their place in ballads and in Scottish literature.

The World of Fairies
Enter a fantastic realm where imagination and magic abide and logic and reason are abandoned. It's the world of fairies where the unknown, unseen, and intangible operate as the norm. Gateways to this Otherworld can be accessed by mortals at times and places that are 'in-between' - neither here nor there, then or now. But you can cross the threshold any time you like through these twenty-nine enchanting tales. Most of them are retellings of famous and not-so-famous folk and fairy tales. Others are newly written; some have been inspired by ideas of lines from works by fairy-friendly writers such as Shakespeare and Yeats. There's Star Maiden, who teaches us the lessons of grace, and the Leprechaun, who, if captured, may be coaxed to reveal the whereabouts of his treasure. Here, too, is Ugunsmate, the fairy that tells us how important it is to have a home, a place to feel safe and grounded. They're all waiting for you to come to visit them.
