Description

Join Andrew Warburton, author of New York Fairies and New England Fairies, as he explores the deep, but often overlooked, roots of fairy lore in the mist-shrouded mountains of Northern Appalachia. The magic of Old World folklore lingers in Northern Appalachia's hills and hollers. From banshees to tommyknockers to mischievous elves, myriad fairy spirits populate the stories of the region's mountain folk. The Little Hunchbacked Man who dwelled in corners of Pennsylvania Dutch homes. Pixies whose knocking warned of explosions in West Virginia's mines. A red-haired fairy whose magical arrows tormented the Scots Irish of Kentucky's Cumberland Mountains. In this vivid and well-researched history, Andrew Warburton gathers the region's forgotten fairy stories--from tales about "ancient pygmies" in Ohio to a psychiatrist's account of photographing fairies in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley.
