WONDERFUL!,
By "neko_kitty" (Ormond Beach, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flower Fairies: The Meaning of Flowers (Hardcover)
...This book states very clearly that it is written about PLANT LORE, and that is just what it is about. Persons not interested in this subject will not like this book, plain and simple. Those who are enlightened, and collect books on harmless myths and superstitions will enjoy it. Those who yearn for the magickal associations of flora, fauna and fae will also love it, of course!

By A Customer
This review is from: Flower Fairies: The Meaning of Flowers (Hardcover)
i thought this book was really great! me and my friend went through it and saw some really cool spells we wanted to try. like me, i wanted to try the one to remove freckels. or the one to become the same size as a fairy. the only thing i wish it included was if you could accually try the stuff and if anything was poisionsous. over all it was great for kids like me who like magic and stuff like that

It's a cute book, but not as comprehensive as I would've liked.
