In Ireland, the sinister leannán sídhe suck the life from artists and poets in exchange for muse-like inspiration. In Japan, the elusive zashiki-warashi bestow prosperity on the human families whose homes they share. From the dvorovoi of Russia to the Brazilian curupira, Malaysia’s orang bunian to English brownies, and the moksin tongbŏp of Korea, the world is full of magical creatures who assist, haunt, and dazzle humankind.
- This illustrated compendium written by expert folklorists invites us to enter the realm of the fairy folk. Sections dedicated to fairies of the home, nature, romance, and more emphasize what fairies do and what they mean to people around the world.

Bonuses!
Did you purchase our book? Thank you!!
Fill out the form below to get two bonus PDFs!
What do you get? Details below!
Bonus #1: The Fairies of the Cutting-Room Floor PDF
We are very sorry to say it, but some fairies didn't make the cut for the final draft of Fairylore. We mean them no disrespect and often had VERY intentional reasons for cutting them - check out this PDF to learn all about them (and why they got the axe in the end!) Spoiler alert: a lot of them are Celtic because, well, there are a lot of different Celtic fairies, there are already a lot of wonderful books about them, and we simply couldn't include them all. We still love them though.
Bonus #2: The Cut Stories PDF eBook
Likewise, we had a lot of different public domain stories we could have used that we sadly couldn't fit in - you can find them in this eBook though! Want to read about a troll that gets transformed into a cat? A banshee story that our publishers nixed because it is looonnnggg? How about the story of a Japanese guy who gets taken away to a fairyland under the sea? Of course you do!

(Outside the US and want to purchase from Amazon? Here's a tip: After clicking the link above, switch Amazon to your local country by replacing the .com with your country's Amazon domain. This will probably get rid of the "ships from the US" extra shipping cost, and you might even get a local deal like free shipping in the UK. Alternatively, you should be able to search for the book on your local site and order that way too!)
