Synopsis

Lift the veil between the faery world and our own and meet a variety of faery folk through stories, poems and snippets of lore from Britain and Ireland. Each story introduction is filled with fascinating historical and literary details about faery customs, among the shower of pixie dust, glittery stars and fluttery dragon flies that highlight Gail Newey's whimsical illustrations. This work provides a valuable learning tool as well as an enchanting journey into the mystical faery realm and will appeal to children and adults who love faeries for their magic and mischief. 'The poems that intersperse the stories are full of vivid language that will paint pictures in the heads of sleepy children' - The Sunday Times . This title is rich in literary content, with poems from literary greats such as William Shakespeare, Thomas Hood and Thomas the Rhymer.
