This book provides everything you ever wanted to know about fairies. This is a very funny, entertaining and informative book from Philip Ardagh. Find out the truth about fairy rings, fairy godmothers, will-o'-the-wisp and wailing banshees. Learn how to avoid the pranks, jokes and often more sinister traps fairy folk lay for mortals and find out how to take advantage of fairy magic and the fairy realm. Did you know ...- in fairyland, time works on a different scale. 900 human years can pass in a single fairyland night (according to some Irish myths); and, fairies love milk (which is probably why they have such good teeth). They often milk cows in the field!
