Have you ever seen a pixie? Really? How about a nixie? Where would you find a brownie? And who exactly is Puck?

Hiding in the woods, meadows, lakes, and caves of these green and pleasant lands are a multitude of little-studied folk who have evaded the coarse eyes and lenses of modern naturalists for years. Join Paul Johnson and Dan Goodfellow as they at last unveil the fair folk of these ancient lands, their secret ways, names, and abodes.

The Little People is part of the WOODEN BOOKS series, which are small but packed with information.
