The Lore of Old Elfland : Secrets from the Bronze Age to Middle Earth by Linda Raedisch

Stories of the elven tribes have been told throughout history, and for some people in the modern world, inexplicable brushes with elves continue to this day. This masterful work of storytelling and scholarship explores the fascinating history of elfland, sharing magical tales of elves and faeries from the Old Norse sagas, little-known Danish ballads, classical folktales, Tolkien s Mirkwood, and even personal, firsthand encounters. From the mound people of Luneburg Heath to the elf-maids of the Black Forest, The Lore of Old Elfland brings the shrouded activities of the elves into the light.
