Presenting a history of fairies, in a different light to that of usual, with them presented as darker and menacing trouble makers From the dangerous beings of ancient myths and medieval folklore, to the sanitized wingy thingies of Shakespeare and the Victorians, and even modern myths of alien abduction, this book presents a history of fairies. It tells that they have a darker and menacing history - as troublemakers, child-snatchers, seducers and changelings.
