书籍简介

几个世纪以来，我们一直对精灵着迷，这些神话人物往往拥有令人着迷的魔法力量，可以诅咒、欺骗或治愈人类。 “精灵”的标签有时只适用于具有人类外表、神奇力量和诡计癖的特定魔法生物。有时，它也被用来形容任何魔法生物，例如妖精和地精。

在《精灵》中，探索我们喜爱的魔法人物背后的迷人故事，包括仙女教母、莎士比亚笔下的泰坦尼亚和备受喜爱的小叮当。关于精灵的神话和故事并非单一起源，而是来自不同来源的民间信念的集合。关于精灵起源的民间理论多种多样，包括在传统中将她们视为堕落的天使或恶魔，在异教信念体系中将她们视为神灵，在死者的灵魂中，在史前时期将她们视为人类的先驱，或将她们视为自然之灵。

《精灵》充满了欢乐，充满了美丽的形象和引人入胜的故事。

For centuries we have been fascinated with fairies, mythical beings often possessing intriguing magical powers to curse, trick or heal humans. The label of 'fairy' has at times applied only to specific magical creatures with human appearance, magical powers, and a penchant for trickery. At other times it has been used to describe any magical creature, such as goblins and gnomes.

In Fairies, discover the charming story behind our best loved magical characters, including the Fairy Godmother, Shakespeare’s Titania and the beloved Tinker Bell. Myths and stories about fairies do not have a single origin, but are rather a collection of folk beliefs from disparate sources. Various folk theories about the origins of fairies include casting them as either demoted angels or demons in a tradition, as deities in Pagan belief systems, as spirits of the dead, as prehistoric precursors to humans, or as spirits of nature.

Fairies is a pocketful of delight, packed with beautiful images and full of fascinating tales.
