Mystical stories: a child who was taken away by Fairi

The mystical stories of British and American writers collected in this book were created in the 19th - beginning of the 20th century - the era of the heyday of the genre of a terrible story in the literature of the Old and New World. Continuing the traditions of the European Gothic novel, the authors presented in the collection (among whom are masters such as Joseph Sheridan Le Fanya, Vernon Lee, Montague Rhodes James, Edward Frederick Benson) create on the pages of their works a fascinating atmosphere of fear and secrets, open the doors to otherworldly and infernal Measurements of being, involve heroes and readers in the field of metaphysical and psychological riddles. The ghosts of innocently killed and dangerous fairies, ominous places and deadly artifacts from the past confirm the ancient Hamlet truth: “There is much in the sky and earth”, which did not dream of skeptical philosophy and rationalism of the New Age
