How dangerous were fairies? In the late seventeenth century, they could still scare people to death. Little wonder, as they were thought to be descended from fallen angels, and to have the power to destroy the world itself. Despite their modern image as gauzy playmates, the fairies feared by ordinary people caused them to flee their homes, to revere fairy trees and paths, and to abuse or even kill infants or adults held to be fairy changelings. Such beliefs, along with some remarkably detailed sightings, lingered on in places well into the twentieth century. Often associated with witchcraft and black magic, fairies were also closely involved with reports of ghosts and poltergeists.

In literature and art fairies often retained this edge of danger. From the wild magic of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, through the dark glamour of Keats, to the improbably erotic poem ‘Goblin Market’ or the paintings inspired by opium dreams, the amoral otherness of the fairies ran side-by-side with the newly delicate or feminized creations of the Victorian world. In the past thirty years the enduring link between fairies and nature has been robustly exploited by eco-warriors and conservationists, from Ireland to Iceland. This book tells the story of the many fairy terrors which lay behind Titania or Tinkerbell.

Reviews:

“Engrossing.”–Mary Ann Gwinn, Seattle Times

“[Delves] at length, and with admirable knowledge and insight, into contemporary media spins on [its] respective totems. . . . Thoroughly researched and richly illustrated chronicles of the folkloric and literary pedigrees of [its] subject creatures.”–Bob Duffy, Washington Independent Review of Books

“Sugg . . . wants to disabuse you of any nonsense you may harbor about fairies being small, whimsical and affectionate. The fact is, for much of recorded history they were regarded as dangerous and malicious. Traditional fairy belief has it that they were the original fallen angels, who accompanied the Proud Angel to a realm between Heaven, Hell, and Earth. Sugg writes well, and amusingly, about the evolution of fairies from Terror to Tinkerbell.”–Sarah Murdoch, Toronto Star

“An intriguing book that makes you view nature’s unknown worlds very differently.”–Yorkshire Gazette and Herald

“An instant classic: one of our best books on the supernatural past and present.”–Simon Young, coauthor of Magical Folk: British and Irish Fairies 500 AD to the Present

“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. As he notes: ‘Magic was before science and will be after it. Fairies live longer than pedagogues.'”–Australian

“[A] bulging field guide to fairy lore. Taking readers on a tour of the brownies, hobs, changelings, kelpies, selkies, sea trows, and various other fairy types of the British Isles and beyond, Sugg investigates ‘the great heresy of fairyland’ in folklore, the arts, and historical testimony. This panoramic guide to the sights, sounds, and even smells of fairies . . . begins sensibly enough with the question of fairy geography, charting real-world locations of fairy sightings . . . The book continues with an absorbing range of reports from those claiming to have seen fairies . . . as well as the more scholarly accounts of figures such as Arthur Conan Doyle and the composer Thomas Wood.”–Elizabeth Dearnley, Times Literary Supplement

“Far from the innocuous flutterings of Disney films, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries fairies were often regarded as dangerous creatures. Abduction, murder, being forced to dance to death: these were only a few of the fates they could hand out, and people lived in real fear of their otherworldly strangeness. This account of apparent ‘sightings, ‘ and what they tell us about wider society, makes for compelling reading.”–History Revealed

“Sugg provides both a richly entertaining introduction to the history of fairyland and a thoughtful exploration of the nature of belief. This book may not make you believe in fairies, but it will make you appreciate why such beliefs should be taken seriously.”–Darren Oldridge, University of Worcester
