Fun book about fairies from around the world. I enjoyed the artwork and the recipes and crafts to go along with them. Last chapter puts it all together for a fun fairy party to throw!

[LS Schulz · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is full of lots of fun information about fairies and Wee Folk from around the world. The illustrations are lovely and the recipes they give for foods and other items that are meant to attract various fairies really add to the book's charm. It ends with a small section on planning your own fairy party and another on flowers that are preferred by fairies. In all, this was an enjoyable book to read and it certainly gave me enough hints about fairies in other countries to get me started on further research, should I choose to look into them.

I recommend this book to fairy enthusiasts of any age.
