First edition. A charming reference guide to the best-selling series that has spawned a Disney+ television show. Forget everything you know -- or think you know -- about sprites, and listen to the experts from the International Sprite League as they, with the assistance of the creative team that brought you the bestselling Spiderwick Chronicles, provide a resource that will prove to be as essential for any novice sprite keeper (or collector!) as a strong cage and eyes in the back of his or her head. The wonderful reversible dust jacket on this first edition fold out into a 30 1/2" x 20 1/2" glow in the dark poster showing the representative Sprite species of the world!
