This is a very good collection on the fairies listed in various literature material and theatre or tv adaptations but mostly from the folklores were real and I can vouch for it. Author had collated most of those fairies listed in his this collection and gave a brief introduction to each. Though I have read of many from literature but one from the folklore I can relate from stories heard too. That one is "Yakshas". In Hindu culture Yakshas and Yakshinis are hidden supernatural beings who are neither good nor bad but can be based on how you are if you ever meet them. Their true form was so horrific that no one ever wanted to face them upfront.
They are the guardians of the treasure hidden in the earth and resemble fairies. 36 Yakshinis are described in scriptures. It is said that they are the giver of any desirous thing one wants if they seek for their blessings but before that the one who recites chanting rhymes made to call them, must be very aware to not make the mistake of even a letter in it, else the repercussions will not be good.

Overall, this is good one to read know many of these about.
