Pierre Dubois (born 19 July 1945), is a French specialist in fairy tales and folklore. He is an author, Franco-Belgian comics scriptwriter, and lecturer on fairies and little people in France. His style of fantasy is primarily Anglo-Saxon, after the manner of authors such as Bram Stoker, Mary Webb and Charlotte Brontë. He coined the term elficology (elficologie) as a name for the study of the "little people" (fairies and other similar beings), originally as a joke. Fascinated at a young age with fairy tales and fairytale fantasy, he became an illustrator after studying fine Arts for a short period. His first comic book was published in 1986. Since then he has produced one annually and made regular appearances on television and at conferences relating to fairy tales, dreams and legends related to fairies. Because of his encyclopedias of fairies, imps, and elves, published in the 1990s, Dubois won international recognition as a French specialist in magic. Source: Wikipedia (en)
