The Fairies In Tradition And Literature by Raymond Briggs
A comprehensive study tracing the history and variety of fairy belief and depiction from early folklore through literature, surveying regional traditions and recurring motifs such as changelings, abduction, bargains, and fairy mounds; it combines careful collection of oral and written sources with classification and critical commentary to show how popular belief, social contexts, and literary imagination—from medieval ballads to Romantic and Victorian reinterpretations—have shaped and reshaped the figure of the fairy over time.
