Sometimes benevolent, sometimes misanthropic, and always elusive, fairy folk over many centuries have bewitched the imaginations of their human kin. Very few have glimpsed more than a shadow or heard more than an acho of their presence. Thus the rich impressions of wide-eyed elves and butterfly-winged fairies that Ida Rentoul Outhwaite so skillfully captured have proved, for many, the most satisfying embodiment of a hidden world.

This edition combines her glorious spirits of air, earth and water with much well-loved verse. Poems by Shakespeare, Keats, Robert Louis Stevenson, and e. e. cummings will be recognized with pleasure among this compact treasury of fairy lore.
