Enter the fantastic realm where imagination & magic abide & logic & reason are abandoned. Its the world of fairies where the unknown, unseen, & intangible operate as the norm. Gateways to this Otherworld can be accessed by mortals at times & places that are "in-between" -- neither here nor there, then or now. But you can cross the threshold any time you like through these 29 enchanting tales. Most of them are retelling of famous & not-so-famous folk & fairy tales from around the world. Others are newly written; some have been inspired by ideas or lines from works by fairy-friendly writers such as Shakespeare & Yeats. In these tales, both the tricksters & domestic spirits are revealed, as are glimpses of the cultures from which they originated. Whether its the familiar Pixie or the exotic Peri, a beautiful female spirit of ancient Persia, they each have a story & lesson to offer. Wait no longer... they're all waiting for you to come to visit them. Magnificently depicted in specially commissioned artwork. 128 pages.
