Summary: Sumptuous Feast for the Witty Intellectual
Review: The witty intellectual and fashion-conscious faerie-alike will devour the photographs and the writing in this extraordinary book. Those of you who remember the avant-garde Flair magazine from the 1950's, with its sophisticated tone and its one-of-a-kind format, will rejoice in Faerie-Ality. Bird's prose takes the book to another level. Here's a caption from the Oak Leaf Jacket: "There's a fairie who strolls every evening, daringly on the same path. He walks in confidence, his jacket's subtle texture blending perfectly with the ancient oaks and rendering him practically invisible. Yet his step is sprightly, for he knows the interior of his coat is anything but quiet and hints at his own vibrant inner thoughts." Now tell me that the most dapper of male faeries would not be intrigued by that caption. My only question is, where do I find a similar collection of clothing for humans? Something tells me that it will not be long before the fashion world catches on.

Summary: Eccentric and completely unique
Review: There is nothing else out there that's like this book. The concept of garments made of natural materials such as leaves, feathers, bark, flower petals and more is unique and creative, and the idea of a "fairy fashion show" is charming. The colors, layout (including interesting folding pages and other unusual features) and photography are all refreshing and beautiful.
This is the kind of book you might create in your mind while dreaming, and then be disappointed when you wake up and realize that it doesn't really exist. Despite its ethereal subject matter, this book is indeed real, and it is quite a treat and could serve as an inspiration to the creatively inclined. I think that it would be of interest to adults and children alike, and would make a wonderful gift for someone whose thoughts are frequently off in fairy-land.

Summary: Life in our back yard
Review: This book is amazing because of it's fantstic illustrations. It takes you into a world unlike our own, where the fabric for your clothing grows on the bush ourside your door or is drops by a passing bird. Where your main worry is weather or not your shoes will wear out due to the dancing, or weather or not they will fall of your feet from flying throught the sky on your way home.

Summary: STUNNING
Review: This book is just beautiful. It's an obvious must have for Fairy lovers, but flower lovers will have their breath taken away as well. It's filled with whimsy and the most amazing artwork, it's perfect for just about anyone's coffee table who likes a lighthearted "something different".Another plus to the book is how heavy the pages are. They're nice and substantial, meaning it's OKAY TO PAGE THROUGH without feeling like the book will flake apart in your hands! Often I find when books are about delicate fairies, they feel the book itself needs to be delicate - in this case, it's definitely for browsing. It's simply beautiful, and remarkable, and memorable. A winner.

Summary: Artistic!
Review: This book is nice for people who have a TRUE appreciation for the arts, you can see all the time put into each design. As you turn the pages, you can sit there and analyze every color, every pattern, everything and be completely mesmorized and at loss for words. Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship, wonderfully created, and nice for people who need inspiration for something a little edgy in their world of artistic design.

Summary: Fashions Fit for a Fairy Queen
Review: What a gorgeous book filled with gossamer wings and wispy things. I felt I was peeking into Queen Tatiana's closet; indeed, this is the wardrobe of royalty - a fairy fashion dreambook. Such a feast for artists, poets, fantasy lovers, and wee fashionistas of the sidh. *Fairie-ailty* is a large, hefty book - especially, considering the feathery lightness of its contents - and made of top quality materials. All the better to display the sumptuous beauty enclosed between its covers. The fairy finery on display are photos and etchings of gorgeous garments impeccably layered with beads and buttons and items from nature's bounty: flower petals, feathers, seeds, shells, etc. As a collagist and art lover, I give it my highest praise. My one complaint: I would not be able to fit into any of these little lovelies.
