Fairies Plain & Simple: The Only Book You'll Ever Need
An Introduction to the History and Mystery of Their Magical Realm Fairies abound in the realms of myth and folklore. They have enchanted humans for centuries--but are these mischievous, ethereal creatures more than just myth? One could ask for no better guide to the fairy realm than Ralph Harvey, one of England's foremost modern-day witches. In Fairies Plain & Simple he intersperses his own intriguing fairy encounters (among them, a mysterious musical interlude in an Irish valley) with succinct yet interesting introductions to fairy lore. You will learn why roses have special meaning to fairies and why "elf bolts" are significant as well as how fairies influenced everyone from Henry III to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Harvey even describes the best ways to seek out fairies ( aligning your chakras will help) and how to express gratitude for fairy favors.

I thought that Ralph Harvey's book "Fairies" was a good book. In the 131 pages, he quickly walks you through the basics of the Fairy realm.
I liked the clipart and the poetry scattered throughout the book. There is a lot to like about this diminutive book.
I did have a few "eye-roll" moments when Harvey introduced chakras into the "Finding Fairies".
That being said, I think that this book will appeal to the fairy collectors and will make a nice Christmas stocking-stuffer.

Note: I received this book free of charge from a giveaway from Goodreads.
For me personally this book was a 2.5 star book but I think it might be enjoyed more by others.
I found the topic and information interesting, but the fact that it was so “Plain and Simple” detracted from it immensely. I think perhaps this series of books is just not for me. It lacked any embellishment of language which led it to be somewhat boring. Kind of like reading a very simplistic Jr High textbook. I don’t think that this is the author’s fault, but rather the expectation that the book remain “Plain and Simple”.

By reading this plain and simple book I gained a deeper understanding of all things Fairy.
