Field Guide to the Little People: A Curious Journey Into the Hidden Realm of Elves, Faeries, Hobgoblins & Other Not-So-Mythical Creatures
In high summer meadows, nestled in the moors, near old castles, or
behind the kitchen stove--these are the places where the Little
People may be found. Make the acquaintance of White Ladies and Red
Caps, Church Grims and Hobgoblins, English Fairies, Leprechauns,
Sirens, Hey-Hey Men, and all of their strange and mythical kin.
Become wise in the ways of these magical creatures, some beautiful
and benevolent, others cunning, menacing, or morose. For many
years, this field guide has been as elusive as a
Will-o'-the-Wisp. This is the first opportunity for fans to
once again own an English-language edition of one of the most
revered introductions to elf folk ever written. Featuring more than
80 new illustrations "Rationalists, materialists, be
forewarned: the ancient forces governing earthly incident and
momentum lie neither in our heads nor our economics, but, rather,
in the revelations from A Field Guide to the Little People."
