Om den här e-boken
Featuring color and classic art, Adele Nozedar’s Fairies explores what makes the magical creatures so special to have enchanted centuries of people.
From Shakespeare’s Queen of the Fairies and J. M. Barrie’s Tinkerbell to Fairy Godmothers and artist Cicely Mark Barker’s the Flower Fairies and the Christmas Fairy, this wondrous guide features an A–Z listing of thousands of fairies and their male counterparts. Elves, pixies, sprites, imps, gnomes, leprechauns, and many more are each represented by a short biography with a symbol to show where they found their fame, whether in books, films, cartoons or—like Fairy Liquid—brands and advertising.
In addition, the book includes fun facts about fairies and fairyland in history and popular culture, such as:
* Sir Arthur Conan Doyle believed in fairies and was taken in by a photograph which two little girls faked of fairies in Cottingley which he published in The Strand Magazine
* Dandelion seeds are known as fairies
* Fairy Lights were invented for Gilbert & Sullivan’s Iolanthe
* The role of Tinkerbell was performed by a moving light and tinkling bells in the original stage production of Peter Pan
* An old English statue declaring that anyone harming a fairy would be sentenced to death
* And more
Enter the entrancing and ethereal world of Fairies.
