The Great Encyclopedia of Faeries
AuthorPierre Dubois
ISBN0684869578
Freddy Krueger getting a paragraph was the last straw for me (page 45). This is a lousy book. It is one of those pathological fantasy "authorities" which redefines its subject to include many, many things which don't belong (e.g. deities and Asian monsters).


The cover art is beautiful,...
