Customer Reviews

Definitely need hard cover disappointed 😔. Overall book was in good condition. Other than that seem

Interesting and fun, well written flows. Like the research data

Thoroughly enjoyable look at fairies

I really enjoyed this book on fairies. The author did an excellent job of tying in a wide variety of legends, stories, tales, myths, and unexplained phenomenon (even crop circles and UFO's get a mention). Unlike many books of this genre - there is little fantasy or frou-frou, Bord instead lays more trust in themes which commonly reoccur in fairy encounters.In all, this is an excellent book, and it is well worth the money. I will fault the binding though, the glossy pages of photos in the book were quick to fall out and I was by no means rough with the book.

best fairy book I've ever read:)

This is a great book. It is one of the few fairy books that take an objective viewpoint. Most books say that fairies are not real I loved this book. It has cute pictures of supposedly real fairies and the true accounts are very interesting. There is even a cute picture of an ancient fairy shoe and a mummified body. I hope you buy this book it is the best. :)

Do you believe? Now I'm absolutly convinced.

Wow. I love this book. I went to the library looking for a book about faries, to find this magnificent book. It is filled with bunches and bunches of stories of people who, well, encountered faries. These stories are amazing! From little men driving cars, to ones getting caught in a woman's hair, to brownies who helped clean houses, to nature faries. I believe, and you will too.

Fairies: Real Encounters with Little People is:

Fairies: Real Encounters with Little People was informative as well as delightful. A wonderful book that belongs in every book collection. I found this book interesting, and Janet Bord did an excellent job of describing the various fairy sightings. I also thought the photo insert was a must for this book.
