What are your favorite books about faeries
 

I enjoy reading about the Fae. Recommend any good books? Fiction or otherwise.

I seem to remember liking Artemis Fowl.

I'll check that out. I just finished the "October Daye" series so I am high on faeries LOL.

Sounds interesting.

I love ElfQuest. The original series is amazing! The manga Ao No Exorcist is also an interesting read, though it is more about demons... you can find them online.

Thanks for the suggestion. :wink: Maybe I'll look into ElfQuest. I'm writing a fantasy story about demons so I'll hold back on that one.

Slightly off topic lol, but I loved the Magic Faraway series, Enid Blighton, as a child. I'm sure it was because of these books that I am so interested in faeries ��

"Merlin's Magical Creatures" by the Welsh author and illustrator G. Howells.

Howell's lives near the source of the Stonehenge Bluestones, and reckons that he's met many of the creatures mentioned in his book. As an aside, he is featured in the seminal 'Welsh Triangle', a book about the spate of sightings and close encounters that occurred in the late 70's in west Wales. As a schoolboy walking to school he had an encounter with a UFO. This inspired him to explore the stranger side of life and to become one of Britain's leading occult explorers.

None better than Margaret Tarrant.

"Little Big" by John Crowley. a beautifully written, intricately complex fairy story for adults. i'm not much into fairy stories but this novel is one of my all time favorites.

“... their lives were full of quiet drama, full of vague yet thrilling signs that life was not as the common run supposed it to be; they were among those... who watch life as though it were a great drab curtain which they are sure is always about to rise on some terrific and exquisite spectacle, and though it never did quite rise, they were patient, and noted excitedly every small movement of it as the actors took their places, strained to hear the unimaginable setting being shifted.”
― John Crowley, Little, Big

I visited that area earlier this year. 270 miles from Stonehenge!
