Ted williams's Sorrow and Thorn series and Guy Garville Kay's Fionard Tapestry are excellent fantasy literature works, which contain a lot of descriptions of the elves you expect.
However, if you really want to read fairy tales, you can't help reading fairy diamonds, because this book is the background setting of the Lord of the Rings, and the elves in the Lord of the Rings, as I said, have established the basic image of elves in mainstream fantasy.

How to read Poké mon Diamonds (The Legend of Simariel)
Preface to Deng (Poké mon Diamond Translator JOYTENG)
"Pokémon Diamond" is a fairy history book, which was translated by Bilbo when he lived in Rivendell (from elvish to the lingua franca of the third age), and finally passed on to his daughter by Sam.
Pokémon Diamond mainly records the major events that took place in the first and second eras since the beginning of the world. The Lord of the Rings told the story of the third age. After Soren was overthrown, from the beginning of four yuan, human beings took charge of the world, and the elves disappeared one by one. The world we live in today belongs to the sixth or seventh era (Tolkien said).
Poké mon Diamond answers the doubts left by The Lord of the Rings.
Why is Elon so opposed to the love between Alvin and Aragon? Do you know that Aragon really has elf blood? Why did alvin toffler choose to marry a mortal and return to the celestial world after her husband's death, but she couldn't go back on her word? What is the land of the dead like?
The friendship between Legolas and Li Jing is unusual because the two communities are feuds. Why? Do you want to know the origin of dwarves? How did the tree people come? And, most importantly, how can there be such a fascinating species as elves? Why do they have to disappear from Middle-earth?
How did Sauron rise? Who's Morgause? Where did efreet and orcs come from?
Gandalf and Saruman were originally angels sent to help Middle-earth, don't you think? Then how did Saruman become a bad person?
I can also list a truckload of questions from The Lord of the Rings, and their answers are all in Poké mon Diamonds.
Read "Poké mon Diamonds"
The book Poké mon Diamonds consists of five parts: the Enu Movement, the biography of Villa, the history of Poké mon Diamonds, the fall of Nu Menaul and The Lord of the Rings, and the Third Age.
If you are the kind of person who has no time or is not used to reading a lot, please read The Lord of the Rings and The Third Age directly. Then, if you are still interested in understanding Aragon's ancestors and why there was the Kingdom of Gondor, please see the history of the fall of Numenor.
The War History of Poké mon Diamonds consists of 24 chapters, which mainly tells the story of Norodo Elf's revenge on the first demon king Morgause for three Poké mon Diamonds. The third chapter records the origin of elves, and the twelfth chapter records the origin of human beings; The second chapter records the origin of dwarves and tree people.
If you like the description of war, don't miss chapters 18 and 20. Chapter 20, in particular, is even more tragic than World War I in Palano Plain. I don't know how to translate these two chapters myself. It's so sad.
Between these two wars, there is the most beautiful and moving chapter in this book: Belem and Lúthien. No matter how much time you have, you should take the time to read chapter 19. People who have read The Lord of the Rings should remember that alvin toffler chose the life in Lúthien? #092; After reading Belem and Lúthien, you will know why Elon is so sad and so opposed to his daughter's choice, and what a touching history there is behind the love between Aragon and alvin toffler.
Turing in Chapter 2 1? Thumbelina is basically an independent story, telling the life of human hero Turing. Another story that makes people unable to eat after reading it. But it's really beautiful. Tolkien discussed the problem of evil in this story; The evil influence of external environment and the weakness of personal character led to the tragedy.
The first era of Middle-earth ended after the Great War in Chapter 24. Morgos was overthrown and the earth was temporarily calm. Sauron, who rose in the second era, shattered Aragon's ancestor Numenor, with the intention of unifying Middle-earth. Elves and humans once again formed an alliance against the demon king, and finally cut off the supreme ring from Sauron, and Sauron fled, ending the second era; This history is recorded in the fall of Nu Menaul. Everyone in the third era knows that I don't need to say more.
In addition, the first two chapters of the book, The Inu Movement and The Biography of Villa, are about the creation of gods and heaven and earth. Among them, Enu's Grand Music is recognized by all Tolkien experts and scholars all over the world, and it is one of Tolkien's best and most beautiful works. The original text is very classic. Personally, I think it should be translated in the language of historical records. Unfortunately, my Chinese is not so good, and the editor will definitely not agree-who should I show it to?
summary
Poké mon Diamond is very profound. The best way to read is not to delve into the content and whether you can remember many names and places. Anyway, you just read it from beginning to end and then reread the part you like. This book is very, very durable I personally watched it three times before I started translating. I have read some chapters in the book for more than ten times, and I still feel very good.
After watching Poké mon Diamonds and The Lord of the Rings, I deeply thank Tolkien for creating Middle-earth, so that I can often go to Middle-earth, wander around it, visit my old friends, share their happiness and sadness, learn from their courage and sincerity, and always be full of confidence and hope for tomorrow. As a Tolkien fan, it is my greatest honor to introduce Tolkien's masterpiece to you.

Elves, elves, themselves came from Nordic mythology, and then the race we now know appeared in Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. If you want to see the elves in this kind of classical mythology, you still have to return to Nordic mythology, but the elves in this kind of works are very different from the elves in the mainstream fantasy now, and they have never been the core role of the story.
