Summary: Delightful!
Review: My 6 year old daughter and I were enchanted. After the first reading, she started carrying this book around with her, looking for favorite pages, like the one with the yummy-looking recipe for Fairy Bars. Charming illustrations inspire a feeling of glitter and fairy dust on every page. It begins with a brief statement that fairies are made out of the imagination. The rest of the book describes fairies in a very matter-of-fact way, complete with definitions of all the types of fairies (pixies, elves, banshees, leprechauns, etc.), a map of the enchanted forest, one spell/potion each for good luck and for mischief, directions for practicing wand waving and flying, brief descriptions of famous fairies (Tinkerbell and Titania, Oberon, and Puck from a Midsummer Night's Dream), and suggestions for making fairy dust, a crown, and a wand. I especially like the emphasis on diversity among fairies (in terms of size, shape, color, and personality). What is valued most is the fairies' cleverness and magical abilities. Simply lovely.

Summary: Great for believers of all ages...
Review: My daughters (5 & 8) and I thought this book was more than magical, it was enchanting and informative and we learnt so much more about fairies than we knew before. Give this as a gift to your daughter, your God-daughter, or your niece... oe even your Mother-in-Law so she can know the spell / recipe for Good luck.A gorgeous book!
