Fairy Mythology 2: Romance and Superstition of Various Countries - Thomas Keightley

Descriere Fairy Mythology 2: Romance and Superstition of Various Countries - Thomas Keightley

\n \nThe Fairy world of the British Isles, Ireland, Southern and Eastern Europe \n The term Fairy covers all kinds of nature spirits and Elementals all over the world. Not just the tiny sugar sweet creatures hovering around flowers. Thomas Keightley collected an impressive amount of mostly European, and nowadays often extinct folklorist data on these invisible realm's inhabitants, and compiled these in Fairy Mythology (1870).\n \nIn its revised edition, this massive work of over 800 pages, is republished in two volumes to meet modern reading standards. Volume 1 covers Scandinavia, Iceland, Feroer, the Orkneys, Shetland Islands, Rugen, Germany and Switserland.\n \nVolume 2 deals with Great Britain, the Scottish Highlands and Lowlands, England, Wales, the Isle of Man, Brittany, France, Greece, Italy, Spain, stories of the Finns and Slavonic people and some Jewish and African Fairy-lore. We encounter Fairies in many varieties, Pixies, Brownies, Leprechauns, Chancelings, the Boggard, Puck, the Phynodderee, Kobold, Urisk, Korrigen, the Korred, Tylwyth Teg and more. Just like volume 1, volume 2 displays a precious collection of ancient folklore directly based on the realm of the hidden Elemental nature.\n \nPreview of high quality layout on www.vamzzz.com\n
