Legends of Valor
AuthorBrendan Lehane
ISBN0809452219
This is almost like reading two different books. I was convinced I was going to give this book a 2-star rating based on the first half. It starts with a collection of legends about an Irish hero named Cuchulain. Many of the legends have tons of internal references, and the text quite often tells you to (see...
Rewards and Fairies
AuthorRudyard Kipling
ISBN1853261599
Maybe a 3.5. Excellent story telling; the poems left me cold, except the joy in finding an old favorite--"If you can keep your mind when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you"--as the opening line to "If".

Another good line "I reckon there's more things told than are true, And more...

The World Guide to Gnomes, Fairies, Elves and Other Little People
AuthorThomas Keightley
ISBN0517263130
Finally finished it! Enjoyed it so much. A great collection of folklore from all over the world.

I will caution: not a book to read if you're looking for something light. I was sometimes frustrated by the lack of English in certain sections. Almost all of the Spain section I couldn't read because...

Flower Fairies of the Spring
AuthorCicely Mary Barker

I Love this Book!

I found this, by chance, at the library one day and I brought this home. It is a collection of poems from the 1920s about flowers and fairies. It’s almost 100 years old. Each fairy has a poem about the flower and when the flower grows. This collection is lovely with delicate artwork....
