Description
Fairies have long been a part of folklore and popular culture, but what about actual sightings? For the first time, Magical Folk explores the hidden history of fairies in Britain, Ireland, and North America from 500 AD to the present. Using digitised local newspapers and ephemera, Simon Young uncovers a wealth of new information on these mysterious creatures. From the eerie Whoopity Stoorie of Scotland to the sometimes malevolent fairies of North America, this book delves into the fascinating world of magical folk. With findings from the Fairy Census and surveys of modern sightings around the globe, Magical Folk offers a fresh perspective on these enigmatic beings.
