#LibraryHaul for some fairy tale research
#TBRtemptation post 5! This is a deep history of fairies & their ilk from ancient times to the present. Before Disney's Tinkerbell, fairies had a much darker & sinister past involving goblins, gorgons, gellos, etc. They were born of fear. Child-killing demons & nymphs abducting babies & virgins, fairy queens seducing men, and on and on. Shakespeare made the first attempt to tame them, but it was a long process indeed. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
