  • The Faery Lifecycle

    af John Kruse ...
    Serier serie 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 ... Læs mere

  • Faery Mysteries

    af John Kruse ...
    Serier serie 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.

  • The Darker Side of Faery

    af John Kruse ...
    Serier serie 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 ... Læs mere

  • Faeries and the Natural World

    af John Kruse ...
    Serier serie 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 ...

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.

  • 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 ... Læs mere
