Customer Reviews

Detailed, wonderful illustrations.

This book is an illustrated encyclopedia of Fairies from European and Celtic culture. I picked up a copy at the library and found it quite entertaining. I though the text interesting and the pictures and illustrations are well done. While this book isn't particularly large (only 155 pages), its reasonably comprehensive, and accessible to adults and children alike.In particular, I liked the illustration of the Blue Men and the Doonie. This is a fun addition to any Celtic folklorist's library.

This was a great book!
