Edition DescriptionTeacher's edition
SynopsisSelkies, fairies, gnomes, hill folk, river sprites--do you believe in them? Perhaps among the flowers, beside a mountain, or near deep waters you've caught a glimpse, once or twice, of what you thought might be the silvery shadow of a dwarf, or a hint of a fairy's wing, or the tail of the water horse. Or was it just the odd light of dusk or dawn playing tricks? As Lise Lunge-Larsen's magical, timeless stories reveal and Beth Krommes's enchanting scratchboard illustrations capture, the hidden folk are there, all right: you just have to know where--and how--to look.
