Product Description |
Noted nature crafter Laura Martin has created a fantasy for fairy-lovers. Its conceit involves a botanist, Christine Newkirk, who has discovered five tiny houses on a magical island, all made from natural materials on a perfect fairy scale—the houses are no more than 18 inches high, beds are 2 x 3 inches, shoes are 1 inch long. She documents her finds in a field diary she is keeping for her granddaughter.
The woodland cottage is filled with bent twig furniture. The Japanese house displays bamboo slippers outside the door, and the beach house has a minute bath tiled with seashells. Each spread is filled with photos and drawings of these tiny objects, all identified with their botanical names.
To leaf through these pages is to enter another world and dwell in it—the world of fantasy that has fascinated people through the ages. |

why so many high reviews? |

I think most of the pictures are out of focus. A few are so blurry that it hurt my eyes to study them. I was expecting something different, more natural. I think I wasted my money on this, and just may return it. |

This is an awesome book for fairy lovers of all ages. The pictures are AMAZING!!! You can't believe how hard those fairies work to produce such lavish places of domesticity! You'll love it, or it would be a wonderful gift |

This book was very creative, me and a friend have decided we are going to build faerie houses and this book has given us a few ideas. Of course our houses won't look like these ones, but it helps to see how other artists make them. |

Enchanting tour for all ages |

The title and cover caught my eye, but the insides blew me away. What a delightful trip! I took it along for my 8 year old grandson to look at on a trip his mother and I were taking. He sat in the back seat ooohing and aaahing the whole way, and informed me that he "couldn't wait to stay with me next summer so he could search the woods,prairie and gardens for little houses--and if we didn't find any, we should probably make some so the Fairies will come--especially around the pond because you know Nana Fairies love water!" What better thumbs-up than that!!! |
