By Ty Hulse

Get drawn into a world of the original hobbits of lore, fall in love with selkies, and explore the lives of witches who work for the fairies.Once, not so long ago people talked about encountering fairies the way we might talk about meeting a celebrity. For people believed that fairies were their neighbors, even if they rarely ever saw them, they knew they were close by, protecting their homes and villages.Written by a folklorist this book uses actual tales of fairies in ways you likely have never seen them,, but have likely always dreamed of. For we still hear the whispers of our magical past, even if we can't recall it.Once upon a time, people believed that fairies were not some distant beings, living off in Neverland or Wonderland. Rather, fairies were people's neighbors. People had to be careful where they threw out their old water, for fear of it hitting an invisible fairy, they had to keep the commons between the fields clean because this was where the fairies lived, and they should leave clean water out at night in case the fairies came for a visit. Fairies were a part of people's communities.This is a collection of stories based on actual folklore about people's interactions with the fairies, most often from the fairies perspective.
