“this was a really sweet summary of New England fairy folklore/indigenous folk tales. I liked the author’s little inserts when he talked about his experience traveling about to all the fairy locales. However the revelation that Hannah Duston, villain of the history of Haverhill, Massachusetts, apparently has become a fairy tale/folk story was jarring in an unpleasant way. I liked the mischievous water elves of the Saco River far better”
“I really enjoyed reading about the fairy lore that came from the British Isles to New England, and learning that the First Nations' people already had fairy lore of their own, associated with their deep spiritual beliefs in nature. Andrew's work is comprehensive and detailed, giving accounts of people's experiences with seeing or feeling fairy presences in natural settings. We are so disconnected from nature now. I believe there is a presence in nature which we cannot explain. I've experienced it. The fact is, these beliefs are universal in cultures from Celtic times to Africa and persist to this day. This is a very interesting book which preserves cultural traditions that are being lost. I find it fascinating and I love Andrew's ongoing work which he shares in his blog. I'm glad he published this unique book to document the fairy lore of New England.”
