<p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>A charm is a magic spell worked with the use of an amulet bringing about either good or ill. A changeling in fairy tales is much rarer. It is a horrid little fairy creature mischievously exchanged for a look-alike human child. Pity the one who has to try and get the real child back!</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>In this collection Ruth Manning-Sanders engagingly includes tales of each. A piece of amber fills up a wine jug as soon as it is emptied a bridle can turn anything into anything a cap can make the wearer invisible! As for changelings there are beautiful maidens and a raven - and more.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Ruth Manning-Sanders conjured up a strange and exciting world in these tales which Robin Jacques captures so well in his fine illustrations.</span></p>
