Synopsis

Step into the enchanting realm of Faeries, Sprites & Malevolent Spirits, where the exquisite beauty and treacherous allure of the unseelie court come to life through classic poetry and stories.

This captivating collection immerses you in the ethereal world of fairies, where enchantress lyrics and the longings of otherworldly lovers are woven together in verses that shimmer with magic and mystery. Each poem and story is a spell, cast in words that evoke the haunting perfume of desire and the dark allure of fae mischief.

Within these pages, you'll find timeless works such as William Wordsworth's The Faery Chasm and Maurice Hewlett's The Lore of Proserpine. These poems, along with excerpts from William Shakespeare and Alfred Lord Tennyson, blur the boundaries between reality and fantasy, drawing you into a landscape where the whispers of the unseelie court beckon you into their macabre dance.

Faeries, Sprites & Malevolent Spirits is a must-have for those entranced by the mystical, the magical, and the malevolent forces that dwell in the shadows of the faerie realm.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Step into the spellbinding realm of the faeries


This anthology explores our fascination with these ethereal creatures across centuries and cultures; in literature and folklore they have retained an edge of danger and embodied the mysterious and magical aspects of the natural world. Throughout history, writers have harnessed these unearthly beings to explore themes of innocence, wonder, and the supernatural, whether through the wild magic of A Midsummer Night's Dream, or the dark glamour of Keats.


Faeries, Sprites & Malevolent Spirits is a portal into an enchanted world, where the exquisite beauty and treacherous allure of the unseelie court comes to life.
