Zeee is my favorite childhood book, originally published (and first read by me) in 1965. The story, long out of print until its recent re-issue, remained with me as a fond memory of a time long ago when fairies made homes in discarded beach pails and little girls made furniture for them from found miniatures such as shells, flowers, and twigs. When I "found " the book again, I found a piece of myself -- a link to my "inner child" and a revived kinship with Zeee, the fairy who hates people

I have my original Zeee, given to me by my mother on Valentine's Day 1965. Luckily, I have daughters who give me a second chance to enter Zeee's invisible and beautiful spaces.

I checked Zeee out from the library numerous times when I was a child. It has now been re-published for the next generation of children to read. Zeee is a delightful story with wonderful pictures. It makes you want to search your own backyard for a fairy. The story: Zeee has emotional trials and tribulations while trying to find the perfect home. Every time she thinks she has found a wonderful location, a human destroys it. It's a delightful story and I highly recommend it a "must-have"

My mother always told me to keep my books, I'm glad that she did too. Out of the drew books from her childhood this is my favorite, while not as popular as thumbelina may be zeee is by far my favorite little fairy book. Zeee is the perfect book for one looking for a strong female fairy character that does not play into the typical type casting and plot line, it helps that she has a lot of spunk too. Good for any little girl whos into faries.
