Dubois' bibliography: Fairy books (1)

I talked a LOT before of Pierre Dubois, his famous "Fairy/Elf/Lutin Encyclopedias", his collections of fairytales, and so forth and so on. And yes we have to agree that he has a very free, inventive, poetic style when it comes to retelling the various myths and legends surrounding the fair folk and other supernatural beings. As such, while his books are very entertaining and very beautiful, they are not to be used as a serious research material and can be quite misleading between Dubois' personal inventions, crafted genealogies and fictional history of "Elfland"...

BUT the wonderful and very pleasant thing with Dubois is that at the end of each of his Encylopedias he leaves us with a complete bibliography of all the books he used when writing them. I have rarely stumbled upon such complete bibliographies about the "fair folk", "good neighbor", petit peuple" and so forth, and while it goes a bit beyond what this blog is about (fairy tales proper), I still thought of sharing some of it here because my Dubois posts were all here.

Now, I can't share the entirety of the bibliography because it would be too big. However what I will share is all the books Dubois placed in his bibliography... in English. Indeed, Dubois reads the English and as such a good chunk of his bibliography is English-speaking (there are also some Spanish, Italian and German books in his lists). As such, if you are an English speaker you can easily go check these texts. (Note, this comes from his bibliography of his "Encyclopedia of Fairies", so that we stay within the "fairy tale" theme of this blog)

I said I wouldn't do this style again as it destroys my hand, but for Yrian, it was worth it.

Happy Birthday to my hopeless assassin; we love you (and I'm sure Fe does too).

Desperately trying to find a book!!

Back in elementary school (early 2000’s), my librarian suggested me a book, and for the life of me I can not remember what it was!

I remember the book cover was dark, maybe black, and had a white or grey tone picture on the front of it….it might have been a picture of a fairy or maybe something vague…like a fluffy dandelion top.

The only scene that stuck with me was a fairy being sentenced to being put in a beehive. It was basically a death sentence because if anything stung them, it would kill them.

I have tried googling it and can not find it!! Does this sound familiar to anyone?? Help!
