Welcome back one of the most revered introductions to the lineage, appearance, general characteristics, and case histories of seventy-nine elf folk, including White Ladies, Red Caps, Church Grims, Hobgoblins, English Fairies, Leprechauns, Sirens, Hey-Hey Men, and all of their strange and mythical kin. For many years, this charming illustrated guide has been as elusive as a "Will-o'-the-Wisp". This is the first opportunity for elven fans to own once again an English language edition - featuring more than eighty new illustrations by Sabrina the Ink Witch. 'Rationalists, materialists, be forewarned: the ancient forces governing earthly incident and momentum lie neither in our heads nor our economics, but, rather, in the revelations from "A Field Guide to the Little People"' - "The New York Times".
