I was pleasantly surprised after purchasing this book by D.J. Conway, who seems to have gotten a bad reputation as a "fluffy" and "inaccurate" author on the market. Ever since childhood, I was always interested in fairies (the Fae) and the legends and lore surrounding them, but I didn't know which book to get to help quench my thirst for that knowledge. I will admit that I originally looked at this book for its price, which rivaled most of the other books on the Fae out on the market, and I got my money's worth for sure.

With different stories about the Fae and ways to contact them, this is a great book for anyone who is just curious to know more about faeries.

I have not given this book a 5 because that would mean it could be among the first books read about the faery and the faery path. But I would not suggest it as that. It is a good book to add within a study of the above, having read some more validated and non slanted wiccan books first.

Found some major errors but all in all, this book will be helpful to perhaps to fill in spaces in the path. you just need to make sure that any of the historical facts presented that you check up on for accuracy.

But as a writer she is easy to read and the reading does go fast. It flows. so that is why I gave it a 3 because IMO a 3 star means average not bad, not good but okay.

Just another fantasy/nonsense Conway book. Stick with the authors who really *know* about Faery - such as RJ Stewart or Orion Foxwood.

Not many people know how hard I fought to get my original eight children's yearly wheel stories put at the end of this book. I've had parents and children ask me for years for these complete stories. So here they are. I originally wrote them for my grandchildren so they could understand the changing wheel. I sincerely hope they help all other magical children to understand also.
