Title: Looking for books.
Post by: Dark Lord M on July 11, 2006, 06:41:10 AM
I'm going to Barnes and Nobles today to pick my Doctor Who novel book. I also want to find a book or two on Faeries. I've heard of the book "Good Faeries and Bad Faeries" But I see them as and books similiar to them a possibely fake. I'm looking for things like field guides and encyclopedias. So anyone got any suggestions? I'm looking for Irish faeries or just Celtic. I don't want to get too deep on the Norse faeries and no American, African, or Asian Faeries. I don't feel as if they are as special.

~Thanks!

The best thing about the Amazon viewer is that you can take a look at some of the contents to get a feel for the book before parting with cash!

Don't let the price fool you, i got this on a bargain bookshelf a few years back. :wink:

Good Fairies/Bad Fairies is a good book, as well as the 'Pressed Fairy Book'.

Take them both, Michael. As well as Fairy Tradition in Britain by Lewis Spence. From there you'll find many other reference books you might want to buy.
