Fairies at Work and Play

This book is really a useful little handbook for anyone wanting insight into the deva realm. Fairies, gnomes, undines, sylphs and other nature spirits are described here in a convincing manner from actual attunement. This work of clairvoyant observation by the author led to his later work including the well-known "The Kingdom of the Gods" which is now a classic in this field.The carefully recorded observations by the author were all done in England in the early 1920s. There is homeliness about the way these stories are related. The author was deeply committed to learning about the ways of the small creatures. As far as freshness and authentic, clear observation I rate this small book alongside Dora van Gelder's very similar book written also in the 1920s. There are many books on nature spirits but few better than this for detail and understanding. I just wish it had colour pictures like "Kingdom of the Gods", as maybe then more folks would have found this book to appreciate it as I have.

This book was written in the early 1920's in England by a man who was able to see the non-physical dimension that surrounds us. Its' writing is such that one cannot but feel that the author is truthfully sharing his observations. (Interestly, the preface is written by a gentleman who coroborates Mr. Hobson's observations, but who spends his time observing larger energetic beings.) The book transformed the way I look at the world. If these entities are in nature as purported (and after reading this book I beleive they are) it is nothing short of a revolution in the way we percieve the world. I highly recommend this easy to read, miraculous and consciousness expanding little book!
