In the late seventeenth century, they could still scare people to death. Little wonder, as they were thought to be descended from fallen angels, and to have the power to destroy the world itself. Such beliefs, along with some remarkably detailed sightings, lingered on well into the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn literature and art, fairies often retained this edge of danger. From the wild magic of \u003ci\u003eA Midsummer Night's Dream\u003c\/i\u003e, through the dark glamour of Keats, to the improbably erotic poem \u003ci\u003eGoblin Market\u003c\/i\u003e or the paintings inspired by opium dreams, the amoral otherness of the fairies ran side-by-side with the newly delicate or feminized creations of the Victorian world. In the past thirty years, the enduring link between fairies and nature has been robustly exploited by eco-warriors and conservationists, from Ireland to Iceland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFairies\u003c\/i\u003e, now available in paperback, tells the story of the many fairy terrors that lay behind Titania or Tinkerbell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Sugg's book is in itself a kind of bewitchment, shimmering and eloquent, written with a certain ironic awareness and in the spirit of surrender to unknowing.' - \u003ci\u003eThe Australian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46868442546412,"sku":"9781789141207","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/27941113482824.jpg?v=1759757752"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/richard-sugg.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
