Join the likes of Shakespeare, William Blake, and J.M. Barrie and lift the veil between the faerie world and our own. Meet a variety of faerie folk through stories, poems and snippets of lore from Britain and Ireland. Each story introduction is filled with fascinating historical and literary details about faerie customs, all sprinkled among the shower of pixie dust, glittery stars and fluttery dragonflies that highlight Gail Newey"s whimsical illustrations.
