Fairies and Elves (Fantasy Chronicles) ReviewIf you think fairies are just those magical little creatures that dance in flower gardens you are sadly mistaken. Of course "no one has ever proven that fairies or elves are real," but they do have a long and mysterious history that began in the 1300s. In Shakespearian times the words fairies and elves were actually words for the same thing and the only difference was that elves were considered to be a "bit smaller than fairies." Most people these days have a positive image of these lovely little creatures, but many years ago it would bring back luck upon you if you so much as talked about them. People actually had strategies to keep the evil ones away. Wooooooo!
This booked is packed with information for the fairy lover and, if you don't like them you can read up on a few strategies to keep them at bay. It has been said that they cannot be trusted. You can read about a boy named Robin Jones who unwittingly followed some dancing fairies into Fairyland and was never seen again. You will learn about fairies around the world, their different physical characteristics, vengeful fairies, evil fairies (Unseelie), gentle fairies (Seelie), fairies who steal human children, when people started to not believe in fairies, naughty and nice fairies, why we call some stories "fairy tales," why you should stay silent if a fairy helps you, how some fairies enjoy being tricksters, the tale of a "pixie-led" farmer, "fairy foolery," modern day fairies, the Cottingley Fairies, the "mummified fairy," book fairies and more!
This was a very whimsical and charming book to read. I loved not only this history and folklore of fairies, but also the interesting tales illustrating how people viewed them throughout the ages. The writing was fascinating, very clear, concise and it made it a definite page turner. The graphics in this book were amazing and I felt I was in a little dark fairy land while I was reading it. In the back of the book there is an index, a bibliography, and additional recommended book and website resources. If you know who Dobby is, you know that elves are still around in this day and age!Fairies and Elves (Fantasy Chronicles) OverviewA tiny glint of light floats on the breeze up ahead.A soft patter of laughter coaxes you to follow it, just over the hill to the edge of the woods.
