Publisher's Summary

When young Mary decides to take a shortcut through the gypsy camp, her life will be forever altered. An excellent example of the German kunstmärchen, or “literary fairy tales”, "The Elves" tells the story of a young girl who learns both the wonders and the perils of encountering these magical beings. It’s a story of friendship, loss of youth, prejudice, and broken promises. (This English translation is by Thomas Carlyle.)
