First time posting here, so my apologies if this is the incorrect forum.
In the early 1990s I got a book out of a library in one of my local towns which if I recall accurately was mainly about (but not limited to) encounters with non-human entities such as fairy-type beings, gnomes, etc etc.
It included a passage about the founder of Findhorn encountering the Great God Pan on the streets of Edinburgh (which is also in The Magic of Findhorn), an incidence of a ‘gnome’ stealing a sandwich from a picnicker and some information about devas (plant spirits) but may also have included other encounter-type experiences.
The cover was solid purple with a silver graphic lightning flash (Aladdin-Sane style – not like natural lightning) with the title (three or four words) printed over the lightning flash.
The book must have been published before 1993 as I was under 18 when I got it out of the library in the early 1990s – I recall the events at the time of getting it out of the library.
I remember being distinctly unsettled by the book – but didn’t make a note of the title or author, and despite extensive searches on various book-related sites I’ve not managed to unearth the book.
The book was not The Magic of Findhorn or any other Findhorn-related title.
Can anyone please help me find out the title & author of this book? Apologies for the lack of information - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
