The Enchanted World Books by Time Life 1980's Lot Of 7 Vintage Hardcover Series!
Vintage The Enchanted World by Time Life Books - Set of 12 Volumes!
The Enchanted World was a series of twenty-one books published in the time period 1984-1987. Each book focused on different aspects of mythology, fairy tales or folklore, and all were released by Time Life Books.
The volumes in the series were known for their art and the extensive research used in their by their respective authors retold stories, and were executed as gold imprinted, cloth bound hardcover books, with a glued-on cover illustration.
Unique part of the series was that its books were written as stories, taking place from an "in-universe" perspective, presenting its subjects as real people, places, and things. Related to such things having once been real, a common thread through several of them was its documentation of the alleged decline of magical things from "when the world was young" to the modern day. The subjects—dragons, dwarfs, giants—are presented as being potent and strong at the dawn of time, but magical creatures grow weaker and eventually disappear as humans spread and demystify the world, though there is always the promise that the magic will return once again.
Includes the following volumes:
1. Dragons (1984, ISBN 0809452081, 080945209X)
2. Fairies and Elves (1984, ISBN 080945212X, 0809452138)
