Summary: FOLKLORE AND FANTASY MIX UP A WORLD OF FAIRY GLAMOUR
Comment: I love this book. Of the three new fairy books I've purchased in the past six months, including this one, this is my favorite in that it presents a more realistic take, rather than, say Good Fairys, Bad Fairys (Simon & Schuster), because all the information is made up by the authors. Eisenkraft bases her work on real accounts, ancient beliefs, and historical research. I also like the unusual graphics. I can use this as a reference volume should I so desire, not only for any visits to the British Isles or Ireland or Scotland, but also for prehistory of those places and the origins of a culture and ancient beliefs of those peoples who reside there.

Summary: Step Through the Doorway!
Comment: This is a lovely book that any wild-hearted person will enjoy. By stepping through this Doorway to the enchanted realm you will meet the Daoine Sidhe, the Sith, the Tuatha de Danann, the Twylth Teg and many more beings of the faery worlds. The chapters cover the topics of Enchantment, Mischief, Good Fortune, Faery Encounters, and Various Faeiries and Others, so as you can see there is a lot of valuable information packed into a conveniently sized package. The author has delved into the vast treasure house of faery paintings to bring us the beautiful and fantastic illustrations for this book. Many of the illustrations that you may have seen before are here enlarged to a satisfying size that provides detail. Richard Doyle and Arthur Rackham are here just to name two...there is so much more and all wonderful. Bits of faery poetry are sprinkled in among the art and folk history so the whimsical feel of fey is absorbed on many levels. Lots of practical hints on the best rules of comportment when dealing with faeries are sure to prove useful. Come in! Come in! The door's open!

Summary: Loved It!
Comment: Starts off with an impressive pre-historical account, then takes a sharp left into fantasy, lore, and, well, what IS reality anyway? A shame it's no longer reprinting....
