The best book for little princesses and fairy fans
Rating:
5 / 5
This is the best book for girls who love princesses and fairies. When my daughter was between 4 years old and 2nd grade, she and her friends got this book for their birthdays. Now that my son is getting to this age, I'm giving this book to his friends who are girls. The girls to whom I've given this book enjoy it for years -- first they look over the pictures, and as their reading ability improves, they read it to themselves. The author did it all -- she designed the costumes, painted the children in them, wrote the poems and drew the botanical quality illustrations. You can spend alot of money on different fairy books, or buy just this one.
Wonderful Collection
Rating:
5 / 5
I have loved fairies all my life but only discovered the Flower Fairies a few years ago when I received a calendar as a gift. I immediately started scouring bookstores to try to find the books. What a joy to have them all in one collected work! The color and detail of the artwork is breathtaking, the poems are lovely! This is truly a must have for fairy collectors. I seek out all kinds of things relating to fairy folk, including some of the bad pixies like boggans and fachans. This book is truly one of the most beautiful finds to add to my collection. I don't believe anyone could be disappointed in this book.
Finally! Childhood Completion
Rating:
5 / 5
First of all, I am thrilled these books and drawings are still available. My sister and I recieved three of the books as gifts when were children and have fought over possession of them ever since. Thank goodness my sister managed to keep the three we had all these years (I am 35 now). I always thought they were just gorgeous little books someone had stumbled upon and we'd never be able to complete our set. I remember staring at the rich and vibrant colors and the charming little fairies for hours as a child. Upon a recent viewing of the books you could even see where I had dog-eared my favorite drawings and poems. I still can't effectively put into words what drew me so deeply to these books, but I can say that even as an adult, they hold every bit as much charm.
God bless the internet as I was able to finally track down the rest of the books. I am also thrilled that all the books are now available in one volume so that my sister and I no longer have to fight over rights to these precious volumes. I have even bought the remaining volumes for her children so that "our" collection will be complete and continue to mesmerize my niece and nephew as they did their mother and auntie sooooo many years ago!
