It saddens and disgusts me that this is presented as fact and that people actually believe this crap. ( )

Nabbed this at the thrift store and as expected my daughter loves it. The book introduces hidden folk then introduces each type with a story about a human's experience with them. O has always loved fairy and folktales so this fits right in and we love these illustrations and own other books illustrated by Krommes (Swirl by Swirl and Blue on Blue are favorites!). ( )

If children are interested in fairies, dwarves, or any other secretive beings than i think most children will enjoy this collection. This book is good, though i'm not sure how appealing it is to kids. I might take out a couple poems for children to use rather than the whole collection. ( )

I enjoyed reading all the short different folktales. This book was full of stories I had never heard of, so I really enjoyed reading them.
