A Pleasing Faery Book,
By "faegirl" (California United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Finding Fairies: Secrets for Attracting Little People from Around the World (Hardcover)
This is a wonderfull faery book for all ages! This great book tells of the various types of faeries that live in India, Arabia, Alaska, Polynesia, Asia, Great Britain, North America, Europe, Africa, and Centrel and South America. It also talks about different recipes and crafts you can make for certain faeries, like suger frosted flowers and a faery fan. This great book also talks about how to throw a indoor or outdoor faery party, and how to attract them to your garden. I reccomend this book to anyone who loves and believes in faeries, and wishes to learn more about them. I do not reccomend this book to those who do not have a open mind.The Fae Girl
