This book is better for the anecdotal snippets than as a resource for all things Fae. Though an encyclopedia, it's brief enough to read cover-to-cover without much effort or loss of interest. And scattered throughout the 150 or so pages are numerous whimsical illustrations by Yvonne Gilbert, which make reading it that much more enjoyable. (
