Briggs’s Dictionary of Fairies: Banshees, Boggarts, and Other Folklore Creatures by Katherine Briggs

Hardcover – Monoray – September 2025 – 211 pages

A beautifully illustrated A-Z of British folklore – in all its beauty, wonder and eccentricity.

This new edition of one of Briggs’ seminal works is a dictionary of folklore creatures and tales, illustrated in rich, vivid detail by artist Fee Greening. From brownies to Shetland selkies, Cornish spriggans to Nuckelavee (the most horrid of monsters in all of Britain) Briggs’s Dictionary of Fairies is a treasury of stories, songs and creatures passed down from one generation to the next.
