Ranging widely through history, myth, literature and art, this new account of the fairy shows the terror lurking behind Tinkerbell.
'[An] engrossing new book.'-Seattle Times; 'Richard Sugg wants to disabuse you of any nonsense you may harbour about fairies being small, whimsical and affectionate . . . Sugg writes well, and amusingly, about the evolution of fairies from Terror to Tinkerbell.'-Toronto Star; 'Sugg's book is in itself a kind of bewitchment, shimmering and eloquent, written with a certain ironic awareness and in the spirit of surrender to unknowing.'-The Australian
