The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns and Fairies - Robert Kirk, Andrew Lang
A unique collection of traditional stories about faeries, elves and goblins.
Faeries, elves, goblins, leprechauns, brownies, spriggans and many other Supernatural beings leap vividly off the page in this collection of haunting stories. Included are 25 stories drawing on folklore from the rich narrative heritage of Britain and Ireland.
Marvel over ancient spells to summon faeries to your house, tremble at the shapeshifting powers of dangerous faery queens, lose yourself among the Illusions of Faeryland and learn how to protect family members from the terrors of faery abduction. Interspersed with facts on faery folklore, these Tales cover faery morals, Elvish misdemeanors, the spells cast by goblins and the Sightings of the creatures, as well as their dealings with mortals.
With charming illustrations from favorite illustrators throughout, including Arthur Rackham, this book reminds us of the enduring appeal of folklore and mystery for all generations.
