The Faerie Handbook: An Enchanting Compendium of Literature, Lore, Art, Recipes, and Projects by The Editors of Faerie Magazine

4.0

An absolutely gorgeous book, with its silver-embossed cover and edges. The content is magical too, like one looong issue of Faerie Magazine (now called Enchanted Living). I'm not sure that I will have occasion to actually try any of the recipes or craft tutorials, but they were still fun to read about. If you are a faerie fan, you'll probably be familiar with some of the people mentioned or featured such as Brian Froud and Signe Pike. The book contains an assortment of articles about faerie homes, food, fashion, etc.; stunning photographs or historical paintings; and quotes and excerpts from famous faerie literature such as Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. A great gift for the whimsical fantasy-lover in your life and a beautiful adornment for any coffee table or bookshelf.
(At this rate I have so many coffee table books - three of them faerie-related - that I will have to live in a mansion just to have enough tables to show them all off on! Or, you know, rotate them out or something.)
