Magical Folk: British and Irish Fairies - 500 AD to the Present

British and Irish fairies have been around since 500 AD. Ever since the Cottingley Fairy Hoax (1917-21) they have been in decline, however. In the footsteps of The Lord of the Rings and The Game of Thrones, British fairies are regaining their old lustre. In this book Simon Young and Ceri Houlbrook have gathered the first major history of British & Irish Fairies in almost half a century to ensure that Britain's fairies and fairylore survive into the 21st century. Did you know that many British fairies don't have wings and can be the size of a leaf or up to 15 foot tall?
