Fairy Worlds and Workers: A Natural History of Fairyland - Marjorie Spock

Descriere Fairy Worlds and Workers: A Natural History of Fairyland - Marjorie Spock

\nClose enough to touch with an outstretched hand or the mere lifting of an eyebrow lie the borders of a fabulous land. It was once familiar ground to all, a place where gods and humans lived together in profound communion. But new, golden fields of experience beckoned; the old was abandoned in a rush, lost sight of, and soon largely forgotten. Now people are beginning to feel bereft without it and are trying to find their way back again to that lost kingdom. --Marjorie Spock \nThe Middle Kingdom! Various times and peoples have given it different names. To some it was Paradise, to others Tir-nan-Og; Arthurian Avalon; Fairyland; the World of Immortal Youth; the Land of Heart's Desire. Where exactly is that country? Well, if God's is the world of creative power and ours the world of created objects, the fairy world is the land of life that lies between them, serv-ing as the bridge for their interaction.\n \nThe fairyland and its denizens have long been the concern of poets, painters, and storytellers. Not only are these beings charged with the maintenance of Nature's household but with her evolutionary plans as well. Our recognition of them and their work helps their efforts prosper and helps the earth be carried forward in its evolution. Marjorie Spock draws aside the veil obscuring the life of the Little People and makes their magic world come alive for us.\n \nIncluded are color paintings of the four races of Little People: Gnomes (earth spirits); Undines (water spir-its); Sylphs (air spirits); and Fire-Spirits. \n \nFairy Worlds and Workers is a delightful and engaging book for everyone!\n
