The most extensive volume on the various types of little creatures and fairyfolk, The Complete Encyclopedia of Elves, Goblins and Other Little Creatures illustrates each unique species with charming, luminous, detailed drawings, and includes the folklore and fairy tales collected through extensive research. The first half of this volume is devoted to the various species of elves, a species that has existed since the dawn of time. These creatures flourish in both the daytime and the nighttime, undoubtedly the most complex and mysterious species of the fairy world. Some of them are well-known like Sylphs, Selkies and Will-o'-the-Wisps, while other more obscure elves are revealed here for the first time.The second half leads us through a vast variety of the invisible and sometimes frightening creatures who haunt hollow and attic, forest and ocean. If you already knew about Goblins, Gnomes, Sprites, Imps, and Brownies, this book helps you discover dozens of regional and local varieties of magical creatures as well--some of them can even be found in your own attic or garden! As a result of twenty years of patient research, the author, Pierre Dubois, has created portraits of hundreds of species. For each one, he wrote a tale starting from authentic anecdotes, spiced with spirited humour. An identification sheet presents the appearance of each variety, its morals, manners, and habits; its food and clothing; and the places and countries where they might be found. The illustrations of Roland Sabatier portray each strange and wonderful creature and the marvels and mysteries of the habitats they live in. An excellent book for a family, this encyclopedia will delight people of all ages--and all sizes. AUTHORS Pierre Dubois was born in 1945 in the Ardennes region of France. He expresses his love of the fantastic through television; he is a host on France 3 Bretagne and a scenario writer of teleplays.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are elves and fairies sometimes encountered as 'good' or 'bad'entities? What makes it possiblefor a human being to see an elf or fairy? How are elves and fairies linked to the ghosts of the dead? These are just some of the age-old questions addressed in this book. Joseph martin uses his personal encounters with nature spirits, as well as insights from the esoteric and folkloric traditions, to provide a 21st Century perspective on the realm of elves, fairies and other such entities. He uses examples from Celtic folklore to deconstruct some of the many myths that have arisen in respect of nature spirits throughout the ages. In doing so, Martin reveals how entities like elves and fairies are inherently linked to the human experience, as well as to the spirit of Mother earth. By showing that nature spirits are entities on a spiritual journey parallel to mankind's, Joseph Martin illustrates how elves and fairies are much more than just the fantastical creatures of myth and legend:
