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.
The World of Fairies
In these tales, both the tricksters and domestic spirits are revealed, as are glimpses of the cultures from which they originated.
