Summary: A Great Book for Children to Read
Comment: This was the first Fey book that I had bought. It really introduced you to the different types of basic Fey.
My children loved the book...don't say the their names in the house....call them the little folk.
When I grew up, imagination was put away in a box. I don't want that for my children. I believe there is another diminison where these beings live.....Keep the Magick alive! Believe...

Summary: Nice and well put together book
Comment: Melville did a wonderful job in puting this book together and the information in it, is absoutly stunning. Although at times I wish he had given more information on some of the faeries (Such as the Undines). The illustrations are pretty good, but I rather have a book with no illlustrations in it at all.
This book has 5 chapters:
Elementals & Nature Spirits (Sylphs, Devas, Elves, ect.)
Faery Helpers (Brownies, Dwarfs, Domovoi, ect.)
Tricksters & Seducers (Leprechauns, Pixies, Morgan le Fay, ect.)
Angelic Faeries (Peris, Erotes, Lauma, ect.)
Rituals & Recipes
I give this book a 4.5 stars overall.

Summary: Lovely Overview of the Fae World
Comment: I thought this was a very nice compendium of faery types for those who may not want to delve really deep into the lore. I have been reading on the faeries for twenty-five years, and certainly would recommend this to someone who wanted a good over-view of the subject. I very much appreciated Mr. Melville's respectful attitude toward them and this earth they sustain and protect. I felt very good after reading this book, and appreciate the reverence that went into the writing of it. Great illustrations too -- some of them reminded me of the work of Marc Chagall.
