A small volume, but still very informative. Even in the introduction it states it is not "an exhausting guide" but quotes the reason as being what Yeats had been told when speaking to the Queen of Fairies through a medium: "Be careful & do not seek to know too much about us.
Nicely illustrated.

Sehr schön illustriertes Buch, dass einen kleinen Einblick gibt in die Welt der wundersamen Wesen der Unterwelt, die in Irland in zahlreichen Sagen und Legenden erwähnt werden.
Für Liebhaber schön illustrierter Bücher, ist dieses kleine Büchlein ein absolutes Muss.
