The fairy tradition in the British Isles is a fantastically rich and varied one. This book celebrates this diversity with essays, poems and a wonderful selection of reported sightings and country tales, ranging from medieval chronicles to stories handed down almost within living memory.

I've decided to be generous and forgive the blatant error about the Isle of Man's 'black dogs' which she calls 'Mauthe Doog'. The correct term is 'Moddey Dhoo', and not even pronounced in a similar way to her spelling. This should have been corrected in editing, but considering how early on it way I nearly lost all hope for the correctness and accuracy of the rest of the book, but from my own research around the subjects of the book this was the only major error I could find.

That said, the book is a miniature treasure trove of information, and is excellent for introducing new folklore to the curious. The essays chosen were very brief but informative, and even though they were dry they were concise and easy to read.

It took me a while to get passed the errors about Manx folklore that I grew up learning, but I realise that they are not well known elsewhere in the world. On the one hand it could have been easily double checked, on the other it was nice to see our Island's culture being included as it is often neglected in books such as this. ( )

Katharine Briggs was the president of the English Folklore Society and wrote many books about the folklore of the British Isles. The first section of this little book contains articles about fairies, followed by folk tales about fairies, all of which are taken from her dictionary of fairies. ( )

Those inhabitants of Britain who used to believe in the fairies, and that small number who still believe in them, have various notions about their origin, and this variety is not purely regional but is partly founded on theological differences.
