Every country has its own cherished myths and legends featuring fairies, elves and sprites. Sixteen of these stories are collected here, chosen from all over the world.<\/b><\/p>\n
Some tales are pure entertainment, some warn of life’s dangers, whilst others offer valuable moral lessons. What they all have in common is an exploration of the unknown and a brush with the mysteries of life.<\/p>\n
There 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 taking centre stage in these strange and wonderful stories.<\/p>\n
