Información de la editorial

Whether on top of the Christmas tree, at the bottom of the garden, or in school plays, today fairiesare consideredsweet, dainty creatures with wands and butterfly wings. But, as Diane Purkiss shows, they have far more wicked origins as troublemakers, child snatchers, seducers, and changelings, representingsociety's deepest fears and desires regarding birth, sex, and death. From these dangerous beings of ancient myths and medieval folklore to the sanitized "wingy thingies" of Shakespeare and the Victorians, and even modern myths of alien abduction, this is arivetingchronicle ofthe need to believe in fairies."
