Explore the Secret World of the Fairy Realm Susannah Marriott - All books by this author Boys and girls will be spellbound as they explore the origins and the legends of fairies in this spectacularly beautiful volume. Lavish illustrations on two-page spreads show the fairies of meadows and fields, of lakes and rivers, and of air and wind. Here too are magical depictions of tree fairies, house fairies, ocean and sea fairies, all of them shown in their traditional, richly illustrated environments. Kids will discover, for instance, that fairies have been linked with trees for thousands of years. Ancient stories describe dryads and wood nymphs who live inside special trees—especially the oak, the ash, and the hawthorn—where they sing gentle and enchanting songs. An enthralling picture book, A Field Guide to Fairies presents a series of beautiful full-color spreads, each bewitching illustration captioned with a description of its fairy’s origins in legendry and its relationship to nature. Among these hauntingly beautiful color depictions of fairies are three impressive double-page pop-up scenes. The book’s heavy board front cover is die-cut to reveal the enchanting fairy illustration that adorns the title page.
