Leslie D'Allesandro Hill

This book contains 53 important facts about fairies that a lot of fairy friends probably already know, at least in their hearts, but it will prove valuable as a resource for the poor challenged souls who cannot tell a fairy from an angel. It's a real treat for those of us who know fairies well. It is clever and humorous and also offers invaluable aids for the spotting of fairies if you don't already know how. The illustrations are wonderful and show fairies with complex fairy wings that look as though they have grown from an actual fairy and not from a butterfly or some other insect and certainly not from a bird! You will also see a dragon, fair lads, and fairy homes and gardens. Leslie D'Allesandro Hill has truly captured fairies in this cool book, but as she points out in fact number 22, "Fairies can be caught, but there are no containers to keep them in."
