  • The Faery Lifecycle

    de John Kruse ...
    Séries series Faery
    This book is founded squarely upon an acceptance that faeries have a tangible physical reality and that we can describe them medically and biologically, in just the same manner as may be done for any other living being. It is, therefore, to some degree a natural history of faery kind, but it is limited to an examination of their bodies. This text looks at the actual physicality of fairies - their ... Leia mais

  • Faery Mysteries

    de John Kruse ...
    Séries series Faery
    This book is concerned with the boundaries of faery. We will investigate the very limits of our understanding – and our definitions – of the faery folk. As we shall see, repeatedly, there are aspects of faery existence that still baffle our attempts to interpret and comprehend them, because they fail to adhere to ideas of a fixed nature and predictable behaviours that are encouraged by strict ...

  • British Pixies

    de John Kruse ...
    Séries series Faery
    The pixies are the faery folk of the South West of England, by which I mean Cornwall, Devon and the western part of Somerset (essentially Exmoor, the Quantocks and the Blackdown Hills). Beyond this area, moving into northern and eastern Somerset and into Dorset, it is far more common to speak of fairies. Pixies came to wider attention through the work of a handful of authors. Before that, they had ... Leia mais

  • Faeries and the Natural World

    de John Kruse ...
    Séries series Faery
    The ‘eco-fairy’ as a concept is not new. The sensibility has been present for several centuries. An examination of the folklore and literary sources discloses three interrelated functions that the faes were believed to undertake: they cared for small mammals and birds; they had a special link with certain flowers and trees; and, lastly, they assumed a more general supervisory role over the natural ...

  • The Darker Side of Faery

    de John Kruse ...
    Séries series Faery
    There is a distinct tendency today to assume that faery kind are friendly and helpful towards us humans. The evidence of over one thousand years experience, preserved in British folk tradition, tells a very different story. British faeries are (like humans) selfish, greedy, violent and cruel. What makes things worse, of course, is the fact that they have magical powers too. This book deliberately ... Leia mais

  • The Land of the Green Man

    A Journey through the Supernatural Landscapes of the British Isles

    Beyond its housing estates and identikit high streets there is another Britain. This is the Britain of mist-drenched forests and unpredictable sea-frets: of wraith-like fog banks, druidic mistletoe and peculiar creatures that lurk, half-unseen, in the undergrowth, tantalising and teasing just at the periphery of human vision. How have the remarkably persistent folkloric traditions of the British ... Leia mais
