Quoting from the flap of the dust jacket: This book."explores a whole new world--a world of magic charged with the wild beauty of creatures who do not live by human rules. Theirs is a realm of wonder, exquisite delight, and enchanted and alluring danger.All the faerie types are indentified and pictured--water faeries, elves, pixies, leprechauns, tree faeries, dryads, and many others." Almost every page is filled with vivid, color photos of these creatures, obviously enjoying life! Condition: This book is in very good condition. There has been some bruising to the top of the spine and the rear upper corner of the dust jacket. The oatmeal hard covers have a fews light spots among the many which may not belong but it is hard to tell. Inside, the book is unmarked and the pages and plates are clean and bright throughout, without toning or foxing. Both hinges are intact and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.
