Reviews

[Kate · Rating 2 out of 5]

This collection contains ‘classical’ poems rather than modern ones. The majority of them are 150 - 200 years old.

[L'Poni · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great book that shows poetry can be just as good as a bestselling novel. The illustrations are beautiful paintings of faeries, and this book is not just restricted to females. Males will enjoy this book as well. The poems are sorted into sections: Fairy Myths, Fairy Kingdoms and Fairies in Nature. All the poems date back to the eighteenth century and are by famous poets.
