| Summary |
Olcott’s TheℓBook of Elves and Fairiesℓis a wonderful introduction into the world of fairies, leprechauns, pixies, elves and a host of other magical creatures. The book includes both classic children’s stories like “Cinderella” as well as similarly lovely, though lesser-known tales. Stories from around the world were chosen for the collection, and the book includes myths and legends from regions like Ireland, China, Japan, England and the South Seas. Theℓfairy talesℓhave been carefully translated into English, and, because they are intended for children, any frightening elements have been eliminated from the stories. The editor’s goal in assembling the book was to choose stories that possessed qualities to help grow the minds of young people and to enliven their imaginations. The stories in the book “stimulate a child’s imagination, feed his fancy, and satisfy poetically his groping after things unseen.” In all, the book serves as an important reference for those interested in learning about magical creatures and fantastic entertainment for the casual reader.ℓ |
