A thoughtful but sensitively written account. The research for this must have been staggering but the quality shines through- you'll never need another book on the subject. I read the original "Dictionary" some years ago, using it often to reference and have carried an interest with me all my life. In this book I found so much new information. Prepare yourself for plenty of rabbit holes, I already have a list of new to me names to explore. Astonishing work, and obviously a labour of love on behalf of the author.

A fascinating and well put together book of lore, myth and legend which proves to be a fantastic reference guide for all things Fae. I would live this book as paper format for my reference library. I cannot wait for it's release:)

This will be a wonderful resource and reference for anybody interested in fairies. It covers a vast amount but is easy to read, not too academic. Will be purchasing a copy as a reference in our library.

This is one of the most in depth books I have encountered about fairies. A New Dictionary of Fairies covers everything I could think of plus more that I never even knew! I will be referencing this book and coming back to it time and time again.

This dictionary of the fair folk is wonderful! There were ones I've never read about. Of course I had to look those up first. I loved reading Katharine Briggs dictionary on quite a few occasions over the years- and thought hers was complete. Now I'll have to revisit hers and compare the two. That should be a very pleasant way to spent many a future afternoon! Kudos Morgan Dailer!
