FAIRIES ELVES AND SPRITES (COLLECTORS LIBRARY) (HB)

Every country has its own myths and legends featuring fairies, elves and sprites. Sixteen stories are collected here, chosen from all over the world – some pure entertainment, others warning of life’s dangers or offering moral lessons. Here are devious elves from Iceland, a fairy masquerading as a sparrow from Japan, terrifying banshees from Ireland, trolls from Norway's forests and many more unpredictable and magical beings. New in the Macmillan Collector’s Library: pocket-sized classics bound in real cloth with gold-foiled edges and ribbon markers.
