About this listen

Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries builds its world through scholarship rather than spectacle. We unpack how academic field notes, footnotes, and lived research create immersion, why the magic feels trustworthy without being over-explained, and how winter and locality anchor the Folk in a world that feels both vast yet intimate.
