The World Guide To Gnomes, Faeries, Elves and Other… di Thomas Keightley
An excellent reference book for the fantasy genre.
For something that bills itself as "The World Guide" this book is a) extremely badly organized and b) extremely Eurocentric. On the other hand, it was originally published in 1880 under an entirely different and more accurate name, "The Fairy Mythology", and if you read it as a Victorian book of fairy-tales, it's quite interesting and has some stories that are rarely told anywhere else.
