Book
Twilight of the godlings : the shadowy beginnings of Britain's supernatural beings / Francis Young.
"A game-changing exploration of the 'small gods' of nature and everyday life in Britain from the Iron Age to the late Middle Ages. It addresses fauns and satyrs, fairies and elves, nymphs and forest sprites - shadowy deities of fate and chance - who dance their elusive way through Britain's history"-- Provided by publisher.
