FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES
Malam, John

Fairies

(4) 4-6 Mythologies series. Drawing on multicultural myths, legends, and tales, Malam describes creatures that have captured human imagination. Dramatic illustrations provide continuity across the series, which alternates stories with general descriptions. Occasional redundancies, factual inaccuracies, and conflation of fantasy and reality ("There have been many races of giants, and most of them lived when the world was very young") are distracting. Glos., ind. Review covers these Mythologies titles: Dragons, Fairies, Giants, and Monsters.
