Fairies, Elves and Sprites

Myths and Legends
An enchanting collection of stories about magical folk drawn from all around the world.

Every country has its own cherished myths and legends featuring fairies, elves and sprites. Sixteen of these stories are collected here, chosen from all over the world.

Some tales are pure entertainment, some warn of life’s dangers, whilst others offer valuable moral lessons. What they all have in common is an exploration of the unknown and a brush with the mysteries of life.

There are devious elves from Iceland, a fairy masquerading as a sparrow from Japan, terrifying banshees from Ireland, trolls from Norway's forests and many more unpredictable and magical beings taking centre stage in these strange and wonderful stories.

Fairies, Elves and Sprites: Myths and Legends is part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics bound in real cloth with gold-foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.

For more myths from Jean Menzies, Mermaids, Sirens and Selkies is also available.
