A beautifully illustrated guide to the fairy folk of the world, with magical stories, maps revealing their locations and amazing tales of close encounters.Do you think of fairies as small, winged creatures? Well, they can be, but did you know that they can also be tinier than ants or as large as humans? Many do fly, but others, such as the goblin and the gnome, walk on the ground as we do. Magical, mysterious and sometimes mischievous, fairy folk can be found all around the globe. Beautifully illustrated maps pinpoint the locations of fairies on every continent, whilst special feature spreads take a closer look at fairy lore, fairy magic and rare sightings. From Cornish pixies and Spanish goblins to the forest gnomes of the Congo and the elf-like Veli of Fiji, welcome to the wonderful world of the fairy folk!
