Fairywick stretches from the coastal waters of the city of Aquarius across hills, lakes, and valleys and ends at the boundary of the Wickie Woods forest.
Fairywick is enchanted and is invisible to human eyes. There are many types of fae that live within its borders and they, for the most part, live harmoniously.
There are many mysteries, discoveries, and adventures here. All you have to do is put on your “looking glasses” to find them.
Join the young fae as they learn their lessons, embrace their friendships and work together for the common good.

There's so many things to love about this little book. I bought it for my 7 year old granddaughter, and read it myself to make sure she'd like it. I'm convinced she'll love it. It's perfect for elementary school age children. The book contains several stories, all including the main group of fairy characters, the tales a delightful mixture of common myth and the author's very creative imagination. My favorite story was one called Seahorse Races. In addition to the stories themselves, I particularly liked the unexpected extras at the back of the book, including a recipe section so the little ones can taste some of the "fairy food" the author describes. There's also crossword puzzles and a section where kids can write their own fairy story adventures. I'm looking forward to buying the next books in the series.
