Fairylore: A Compendium of the Fae Folk

By Brittany Warman and Sara Cleto

In Ireland, the sinister leann n s dhe suck the life from artists and poets in exchange for muse-like inspiration. In Japan, the elusive zashiki-warashi bestow prosperity on the human families whose homes they share. From the dvorovoi of Russia to the Brazilian curupira, Malaysia's orang bunian to English brownies, and the moksin tongbŏp of Korea, the world is full of magical creatures who assist, haunt, and dazzle humankind. This illustrated compendium written by expert folklorists invites us to enter the realm of the fairy folk. Sections dedicated to fairies of the home, nature, romance, and more emphasize what fairies do and what they mean to people around the world. Each chapter illustrates a different way of seeing fairies--a way they've been used to explain our world and ourselves. This is a fascinating reference for anyone who has ever been enchanted by fairies--or would like to be.
