    About this ebook

    Selkies, fairies, gnomes, hill folk, river sprites—do you believe in them? Perhaps among the flowers, beside a mountain, or near deep waters you’ve caught a glimpse, once or twice, of what you thought might be the silvery shadow of a dwarf, or a hint of a fairy’s wing, or the tail of the water horse. Or was it just the odd light of dusk or dawn playing tricks? As Lise Lunge-Larsen’s magical, timeless stories reveal and Beth Krommes’s enchanting scratchboard illustrations capture, the hidden folk are there, all right: you just have to know where—and how—to look.

      It saddens and disgusts me that this is presented as fact and that people actually believe this crap.
    • 4/5
      If children are interested in fairies, dwarves, or any other secretive beings than i think most children will enjoy this collection. This book is good, though i'm not sure how appealing it is to kids. I might take out a couple poems for children to use rather than the whole collection.
