5/5 Stars.

I really enjoyed the lore in this very easy-to-read handbook. The art and prose were beautiful and I will definitely reread this.

This was a beautifully illustrated book with gorgeous binding, feel, and and old-fashioned look to it. I especially enjoyed the artwork. It reads a bit like a reference book, a bit like a fairytale book, and a bit like a diary of an other-worldly person who is passionate about fairies. Most of the book, I really enjoyed. There were a few chapters I could have done without (Craft your own fairy furniture, tips for flower pressing, modern fairy couture, etc.), they may be of great interest to some folks, just not me. There were a few chapters I didn't think I'd find interesting, but I did (fairy architecture, Victorian Fairy Painting). It is a beautiful book, clearly a lot of care was put into it. And if you are interested in the subject matter, I'm sure you'll find something of interest.

This reminded me of all the anthologies and holiday collections that I read over and over as a child. I wish I'd had this book back then!

I just like to flip through this video whenever I feel like doing so, I’m not sitting down intentionally to read- just on occasion!
