In these pages you will learn about all kinds of ethereal creatures, from sprites and elves to leprechauns and hobgoblins! A valuable learning tool as well as an enchanting journey into the mystical faerie realm, this charmed collection will appeal to children and adults who love faeries for their magic and mischief.

À propos de l'auteur

Tanya Batt, is a self-confessed story-o-phile and frock-o-holic. Traveling the world as a storyteller, arts educator and writer she visits places both on and off maps. Her work is characterized by lively interaction and her use of music, movement and sumptuous frocks. She says, 'stories are her habit.' Tanya is based on the enchanted island of Waiheke Island, Aotearoa, New Zealand, where she is the director of the Once Upon an Island Storytelling Festival and Center. Gail Newey gained her degree in illustration from Manchester Metropolitan University. She went on to work for Bilston and Battersea Enamels, painting limited-edition 17th-century-style enamel boxes. In 1997 she decided to devote her time to illustrating children's books. Gail takes her inspiration from the Pre-Raphaelites, in particular Rossetti. She lives in Manchester, England.
