From the misty glens of the Scottish Highlands to the mysterious Welsh lakes and the rugged coast of Cornwall, the British Isles are dotted with sites associated with legendary tales of fairies.
Deeply rooted in our national folklore, these tell of meetings between the 'little people' and their human neighbours - sometimes helpful, invariably mischievous and just occasionally threatening. Woven into the myths and fairy stories are accounts of magical realms hidden from human view down dark tunnels or at the bottom of the sea, of the arrival of mysterious visitors from 'fairyland', of tragic relationships that grew from these chance encounters.
On the Trail of Britain's Fairy Folk provides a first-hand guide to many of these evocative locations where you can experience for yourself their timeless mystery. Accompanied by charming, hand-drawn maps of each featured area, evocative photographs and enchanting illustrations, and packed with practical visitor information, this book leads you on a quest for the lands and lore of Britain's fairy folk and the glorious scenery they made their home.
96 page hardcover with dustjacket.
