Fairies: The Myths, Legends, & Lore

A beautifully illustrated collection that brings together fairy folklore, mythology, and poetry from cultures around the world.

For centuries, fairies have lived in the spaces just beyond human sight—slipping through gardens, forests, and quiet corners of the world, leaving traces of magic, mischief, and wonder behind. This enchanting treasury explores how these elusive beings have appeared in stories across history, from ancient traditions to literary classics.

Inside, you’ll discover everything from Shakespeare’s playful fairies in A Midsummer Night’s Dream to the famous Cottingley fairy photographs that once convinced the world of their existence. Blending myth, cultural history, and storytelling, the book reveals how fairy lore has evolved and why it continues to capture the imagination.

Richly illustrated and deeply engaging, Fairies is both a celebration of global folklore and an invitation to rediscover the sense of wonder hidden in everyday life—perfect for anyone who has ever believed there might be something magical just out of sight.
