Fairies and Elves By the Editors of Time-Life Books Book Condition:  Secondhand but in perfect condition Throughout history, Fairies and mortal men have met and shared adventures of love and battle.  Yet no matter how familiar and friendly these elvish creatures may seem, their immortal, magical spirit sets them fundamentally apart from human beings. In the lavishly illustrated pages of Fairies and Elves, you will view magnificent fairy rades - midnight processions of pomp and elvish ceremony.  You will begin to understand the fate of those who venture into the timeless world of fairies - like the traveler who stepped by mistake into a fairy ring and danced non-stop through seven years as if they were a single night. Read marvellous tales of the extraordinary encounters humans have had with every kind of fairy spirit. Spend time in Fairyland itself, marvelling at the incomparable beauty of Fairy Queens. You will also read heart-breaking tales of courtship and doomed love.  Some mortals have succeeded in making a bewitching fairy their lover for a time. But they have lost them when they returned, as they must, to their own land.
