From banshees to tommyknockers to mischievous elves, myriad fairy spirits populate the stories of the region's mountain folk. The little hunchbacked man who dwelled in corners of Pennsylvania Dutch homes. Pixies whose knocking warned of explosions in West Virginia's mines. A red-haired fairy whose magical arrows tormented the Scots-Irish of Kentucky's Cumberland Mountains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this vivid and well-researched history, Andrew Warburton gathers the region's forgotten fairy stories--from tales about \"ancient pygmies\" in Ohio to a psychiatrist's account of photographing fairies in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndrew Warburton grew up in Bristol, England.
