520			_a"The Islands of Magic: Legends, Folk and Fairy Tales from the Azores" by Elsie Spicer Eells is a collection of folk stories and fairy tales written in the early 20th century. The book explores the enchanting traditions of the Azores, a picturesque group of islands belonging to Portugal, blending elements of folklore with magical themes. Through various tales featuring characters such as kings, princesses, and magical beings, it delves into the rich cultural heritage and mystical landscapes of these islands. At the start of this work, we are introduced to the Azores and their enchanting history, with the origins of the islands tied to the mythical lore of Atlantis, including the tale of Princess Bluegreen and her father, King Graywhite. The narrative also touches upon the introduction of fairies in these tales, as the author reflects on experiencing the spirit of these stories during her visit to the islands. The opening chapter sets the stage for a series of whimsical tales that are not only entertaining but also serve to preserve the fading traditions of Azorean folklore, hinting at the magic that still resonates in the lives of the islanders.
