Lovely to read and to look at. Delightful and charming without becoming saccharine. Terri Windling + faery tale = great big win.

A Midsummer Night's Faery Tale is high on my list of books to buy as gifts for children.

It’s become a tradition to read this book every summer and we love to read it aloud! It is a beautiful book with vibrant photo illustrations and it tells a delightful faerie tale of finding our courage and what makes us special even when we feel small and insignificant.

Beautifully written faery tale that showcases Wendy Froud's dolls to spectacular effect. The story and art work together to make this a book worth coming back to again and again. I find that I notice something new on each reread because the artwork is so intricate that there's always some new detail to discover. The charming story and beautiful art make this one of my favorites.
