Synopsis: This hardback is full of delightful fairy facts and tales from all over Europe and examines every facet of fairies and the shapes they take: from Will o' the Wisps to Kelpies, from Leprechauns to Brownies. The information and stories are based on authentic folklore and folk tales from Britain, Ireland, Germany and Sweden, where belief in fairies was still widespread amongst country people until the early 20th century.

Review: The book is beautifully illustrated and the cover is is particularly distinctive and eye-catching with an open door to the magical, mischievous world it describes within. The stories are woven between fairy facts, information, puzzles and instructions on how to search for fairies and obtain protection from dangerous fairies!

A truly enchanting book for children of a wide age-range. Also, a useful resource in any classroom with its short read-aloud stories, which could be used to inspire children to write their own fairy stories or create their own magical worlds.
