Every house holds a mystery. Behind the door, beside the stove, under the stairs, along the roads -- Hobgoblins have been the helpful housemates, neighbours, and friends of humans for thousands of years. But beware! When humans forget their obligations to the Secret Folk and break the Laws of Hospitality, even the friendliest Hobgoblin may turn tricksy. Here find tellings of domestic Brownies, Lobs-Lie-By-The-Fire, Roman Lars, Japanese Tsukumogami, medieval Portunes, playful pixies, and the famous Robin Goodfellow, as well as grimmer folk: wandering Willow O' The Wisps, wrathful Red Caps, and bold Boggarts. Join the Order of the Golden Quills as it presents the secret history and long lost lore of the Hobgoblins who dwell in that most mysterious of all lands: home. AUTHOR: Professor Ari Berk has been an art instructor, an actor, a substitute teacher, a tour guide at a film studio, a student at Oxford, a youth literacy program director at a juvenile court, a salesperson in a rock shop, a story reader for the elderly, a university professor and a strandloper. He is an award-winning writer, folklorist, artist and scholar of literature, iconography and comparative myth. He has a BA in Ancient History, an MA in American Indian Studies and a PhD in Comparative Literature and Culture. He is a former student of Pulitzer Prize-winning writer N. Scott Momaday. "Professor Ari Berk had me at Hob! I have been fascinated by the lore of these little folk since falling for J.K. Rowling's Dobby so it came as no surprise that I found myself studying every last word on each elaborate page. The old-world style in which the book is presented will no doubt capture your child's attention as it did mine. Full of detailed artwork in colour and black and white, fold-out spreads, flaps to flip and facts to glean, 'The Secret History of Hobgoblins' (is that a tongue twister?) fascinates as it entertains." - Good Reads "Just flipping through this book makes one want to read it, lift the flaps, and feel the pages. It's a beautifully designed book!" - Melissa Taylor, ImaginationSoup ***NOVELTY TITLE*** Flaps and fold-outs
