Rating: Summary: A charming photo book Review: An archeologist goes out in search of photographic evidence of fairies after coming across a 19th century fairy field journal. Suitable for all ages.The book is set up like a bird watcher's picture journal. Fairies are cataloged in order of sighting, listing common/latin names, origin, history, place of sighting, notes, etc facing a photograph of the fairy in question. The photos vary depending on how close the archeologist was able to get to the fairy and how fast that fairy was moving. Every inch of the book not taken up with text or photos is full of Scalora's paintings. I recommend this book for anyone who has enjoyed the Pressed Fairies' series or the Flower Fairies books.
Rating: Summary: A delightful feast for the eye. Bravo! Encore! Review: An astonishing work of art! Ms. Scalora defies logic and the rules of the physical world with her beautiful images which inhabit a major realm, so unique in the arena of contemporary art. It is her preservation and sustaining of the inner world (perhaps based on childhood memories?) that makes her the outstanding lyric photographer extraordinaire of the modern times. Ms. Suza Scalora's images combine music with poetry and deliver a sheer ecstasy to the viewer's eye! I await with aniticipation many, many more books to come from this so talented young artist. Thank you.
Rating: Summary: Revives the adult imagination! Review: As a child I lived and believed in the fairy world, but somewhere along the line I lost contact with these magical beings. While the writing style and visual presentation of "The Fairies" appeals strongly to the adult mind and the content totally captivates the imagination, Scalora's skillful writing and the beautiful technique used to display the pictures allowed me to visualize myself again in the land of the fairies. This book is beautifully done and immediately becomes a viable link to dormant imaginations.

Rating: Summary: Beautiful and inspiring Review: Got this book for my daughter who can't keep her eyes off of it. Suza has done a fantastic job of visually conveying another reality. It appeals to me as an adult from a purely aesthetic point of view and it appeals to my daughter as a beautiful work on a subject close to her heart. Very unique, very visionary.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely Enchanting and Magical! Review: I adore Suza's depiction of her faerie visions! Her pictures are beautiful, and filled with the true spirit of the fae. Suza's faerie experiences and memories have come to life in her book, and I am delighted to share it with my friends and family.
Rating: Summary: Enchanting! Review: I am a 14-year-old girl who has always had an interest in fairies - at one time I believed that they were real, and I even had "fairy friends" of my own. Looking at Suza Scalora's magical book brought those feelings all back. The pictures are absolutely wonderful and truly realistic. The old-fashioned text adds the final touch! I love the "field guides" to all the fairies - where they can be found and at what time of year, what they like as bait, etc. Each fairy brought out a different emotion in me: longing, happiness, fear. The face of Vivian, the malicious Brazilian fairy, haunted me for days! Although I knew the pictures weren't totally real, by the time I closed the book, I wanted to go on a fairy hunt of my own.
Rating: Summary: Reccomended To All Faerie Lovers! Review: I am a faerie believer and fan myself. I reccomend this to everyone who loves, or believes in faeries. The photos are VERY relistic, but are not real faeries, just girls dressed up as them. But the pages are beautifull, and their is a story that goes along with the photos too. This book is great for children and adults alike. Plus, the book is enchanting, humorous, relistic, colorfull, and unike.
Rating: Summary: A fairy fun book filled with rich photographic images! Review: I bought this book for it's rich photographic images of fairies. I am delighted that Suza Scalora has the talent and vision to see the fairies and help to make them real for the rest of us.
