Abbey Lubbers, Banshees, & Boggarts
Abbey Lubbers, Banshees, & Boggarts: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Fairies by Katharine M. Briggs
A cut-down version of her Encyclopedia of Fairies, for "all ages." The language is a bit simplified, and some of the tales are also cut down. It makes a reasonable introduction for anyone interested in the folklore and put off by the size of the original work. Also good for children, who may be interested to find the entry for "Dobby."
