One could ask for no better guide to the fairy realm than Ralph Harvey, one of England's foremost modern-day witches. In Fairies Plain & Simple, he intersperses tales of his own intriguing fairy encounters (among them, a mysterious musical interlude in an Irish valley) with succinct yet interesting introductions to fairy lore.
You will learn why primroses have special meaning to fairies, why "elf bolts" are significant, and how fairies influenced everyone from Henry III to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Harvey even describes the best way to seek out fairies (hint: aligning your chakras will help) and how to express gratitude for fairy favours.
