Andrew Warburton Book Signing - "New England Fairies"

There's a long tradition of stories of fairies in New England going back centuries. Join us at WGB with author Andrew Warburton and benefit from his research with his new book, NEW ENGLAND FAIRIES.

Tales of fairies have amazed and horrified New Englanders for over four hundred years. In the nineteenth century, residents of Marblehead, Massachusetts, reported malicious pixies leading them in circles at dusk. In Aroostook County, Maine, elves called lutins exasperated farmers with their mischievous tricks and games.

Andrew Warburton is a writer from Bristol, England, currently living near Providence, Rhode Island. He scoured New England folklore to uncover the secrets of the region’s Fair Folk and the storytellers who’ve encountered them through the years.
