Vile

by Viktoria Faust

"Legenda o vilama i patuljcima poput sjećanja na drevni san još uvijek počiva u pozadini ljudske svijesti. Nalik na slutnju proljetnog povjetarca, koji se šulja uspavanom šumom ili na uzdah zaspale ptice, naša su sjećanja na svijet koji je jednom davno bio i naš. Danas o njima govore još samo legende. Tko su vile, kakv je njihov svijet i gdje se nalazi, tko su mali ljudi i kako se oni razlikuju od vila, stvari su o kojima govori ova knjiga. Priče i običaji ovdje izneseni polako će vas uvesti u čaroban vilinski svijet koji vas, jednim daškom promijeni zauvijek."
