THE WORLD OF FAIRIES by Gossamer Penwyche

Hardcover

$24.95

Enter a fantastic realm where imagination and magic abide and logic and reason are abandoned.  It's the world of fairies where the unknown, unseen, and intangible operate as the norm.  Gateways to this Otherworld can be accessed by mortals at times and places that are "in-between" -- neither here nor there, then or now.  But you can cross the threshold any time you like through these twenty-nine enchanting tales.  Most of them are retellings of famous and not-so-famous folk and fairy tales.  Others are newly written; some have been inspired by ideas or lines from works by fairy-friendly writers such as Shakespeare and Yeats.

    There's Star Maiden, who teaches us the lessons of grace, and the Leprechaun, who, if captured, may be coaxed to reveal the whereabouts of his treasure.  Here too is Ugunsmate, the fairy that tells us how important it is to have a home, a place to feel safe and grounded.  They're all waiting for you to come to visit them.
