Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale 203 reviews
Holly Black
Simon Pulse, 2004
One of My ALL TIME Favorites
I received Tithe as a gift soon after its publication and was immediately sucked in. Many books are hard to get into, with a lot of back story clumped at the beginning - Tithe is not one of them. There is plenty of action, emotion, danger and intrigue to keep you reading and guessing. The humans are real, the faeries are fantastic, and Black refuses to paint an unrealistic picture of either the ...

Cicely Mary Barker
Warne, 2005
Wonderful book for fans of Cicely Mary Barker's fairy illustrations
Both my 3.5 year-old daughter and I are fans of all things fairy and I have been collecting books on the subject for quite some time. "Fairyopolis: A Flower Fairies Journal" is based on a journal kept by Cicely Mary Barker. It is filled with delightful 'treasures' - black and white photographs, reproductions of vintage postcards, a map of Sussex, lift-the-flap features, a field guide to fairies, ...

She's No Faerie Princess (The Others, Book 2)23 reviews
Christine Warren
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2006
Loved It!
I wasn't sure I'd like this book because I don't normally read or enjoy stories or books about the Fae. But I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I actually laughed out loud at the parts Squick (and briefly Babbage) had. I do enjoy stories that mix a little humor in them. I'm looking forward to the next in the series.

RATING FOR SOMETHING I HAVE NOT RECEIVED YET
HOW can I possibly rate this item???? AMAZON HAS NOT SHIPPED IT YET! It was ordered like a MONTH ago, but as of yet, has NOT EVEN BEEN SHIPPED. So asking me to rate it is funny. I happen to know this item very well even though I haven't received it yet, that is why the 5*'s. However, it STILL SITS SOMEWHERE AT AMAZON. They have no plans to ship it until the 20th of this month. I don't ...

Perfect Collection of Fantasy
My husband and I saw the movie based on these books and became intrigued by the story. I immediately ordered the book collection after the movie ended. These books are very sweet with writing and illustrations that will lead any child into a wonderful world of fantasy. This collection would be a special reading experience for grandparents with their grandchildren but also for all parents who ...

Ink Exchange 40 reviews
Melissa Marr
HarperCollins, 2008
Much better than Wicked Lovely
I enjoyed Wicked Lovely, but it wasn't the best book I have ever read.
While I loved Seth and Aislynn, I had a hard time liking Keenan. He was kind of flat as was the story in my opinion. However, I chose to give Ink Exchange a chance, and I am so glad that I did.
I loved this story and the ending was absolutely perfect. My heart went out to all of the characters. Somehow, not only does ...

Great natural photos. My pre school daughter loved the ideas and created her own fairy house by gathering natural elements from the woods. She adds to it every weeek.

How to Find Flower Fairies16 reviews
Cicely Mary Barker
Warne, 2007
Simply gorgeous Fairy pop-up book!
I love pop-up books and have been a long-time Robert Sabuda fan. Well, after buying a couple of Cicely Mary Barker's fairy books, I think they are quite wonderful in their own right. In "How To Find Fairies", we have a beautiful pop-up book that allows us an 'intimate' look at fairies and their habitats. As the great video review posted by another reviewer shows, there are altogether 5 big ...

New author GREAT Book
I basiclly picked this up because it was a time travel book not knowing the author. Most time I am disappointed but NOT this time! I loved it so much that I ordered her other 2 books and I'm reading the 2nd. one in the series now (which is turning out just as good) and I'm taking the book 3 in series on vacation with me! You SHOULD read this book you'll like it.

The Stolen Child Steals You Away..
I knew very little about the "changeling" myth & fairies to me were like Tinkerbell with her cute little wings,etc. The "faeries" in this book are about as far away as Disney as you can possibly get, as described by Henry Day ,a perfectly normal 7 year old boy who is stolen by them and replaced with a "changeling" aka one who changes both his physical appearance as well as personality so he can ...

Raine: The Lords of Satyr15 reviews
Elizabeth Amber
Kensington Aphrodisia, 2008
Erotic romance about love and acceptance, hot believable sex, and unusual heroine
The most startling and intriguing feature of this book is the strong heroine Jordan. I've read many erotic romances and can hardly believe I haven't read such a heroine before. Five stars for this author for coming up with her!
Jordan is born into an untenable situation and finds a way to overcome and find love and freedom. She serves as a poignant commentary on accepting others as they ...

Holly Black

An excellent series for the little ones.
Finally a series of books that is fun, positive and cute as a gnome's nose!
Set in an old Victorian home, the three Grace children must cope with the absence of their father, the strains of moving and a very peculiar housemate. The Grace household is believable and the sibling rivalry and arguments are as real as any I have had with my own brothers and sisters. Beneath all the realism lurks a ...

Dreamscapes: Creating Magical Angel, Faery & Mermaid Worlds In Watercolor9 reviews
Stephanie Pui-Mun Law
Impact, 2008
A magnificent book!
I received my copy of Dreamscapes and I am thrilled with it. What I like about her book apart from the beautiful artwork, is that she is very detailed about how to start the process of a watercolour painting. Little things are not overlooked and she assumes you haven't painted before. There is even guidance on how to draw. If you have a little drawing experience, it will be easier to follow ...

How to Draw and Paint Fairies: From Finding Inspiration to Capturing Diaphanous Detail, a Step-by-Step Guide ...26 reviews
Linda Ravenscroft
Watson-Guptill, 2005
Some Ability Necessary
This book was certainly helpful. I especially liked the easy to draw faces. This book is great for people with intermediate drawing skills. If you only have very basic drawing skills, you will probably find it challenging, but with a bit of practice you should master drawing fairies.
