Origins of Fairy Tales will delight readers of all ages.

Throughout time there has been a very human fascination with "little people", otherwise known as fairies. Whenever something happened that couldn't quite be explained, it was often attributed to the "fairies". THE BOOK OF FAIRIES: Nature Spirits From Around The World by Rose Williams is an exquisite anthology of tales from the fairy realm that brings together stories from all over the world. The beautiful illustrations by Robin T. Barrett bring these fanciful tales to life in radiant "Fairy" colors. Williams' fairy stories show the deep connection between fairies and nature. There are stories here from a variety of cultures, including Irish, English, Chinese, French, and even American Indian. Each story explains how the "fairies" help humans in many different situations. Although marketed as a children's book, anyone interested in the fairy realm will find THE BOOK OF FAIRIES a fascinating volume.
