An Enchanting Compendium of Literature, Lore, Art, Recipes, and Projects | Hardcover |
Beloved especially by the Victorians, who sought levity, fantasy, and beauty as industrialization moved apace in the mid-nineteenth century, fairies have long bewitched humankind with their otherworldly beauty and magic, inspiring art and the written word across the literary spectrum, in British folklore, medieval romance, fantasy tales, poetry, and plays, including classics such as Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella, and in modern television shows such as Once Upon a Time and True Blood. The Faerie Handbook is a charming illustrated digest that captures all the beauty and magic of these winged sprites.
