About the Book

Fairies: A Companion provides a unique and unparalleled view of the ubiquity of fairies and fairy culture across the world, in its many expressions and manifestations. As well as providing historical perspectives on our belief in the fae, the companion also uniquely traces their ongoing evolution and their importance to culture in the 21st century and beyond. Including original artworks, poems and flash fiction, this collection provides an invaluable resource for scholars and non-academics alike who want to understand the richness of our connection to fairies and what they say about our past, our present and even our tomorrows.
