This book is full of wonderful stories and poetry about fairies. Some are about good fairy folk but some are a little naughty! Stephen Mackey provides wonderfully stunning fairy illustrations to go with the magical tales and together him and Jane Yolen are a formidable team. This is a perfect book for reading aloud to a child, but adults are sure to love it too. I will always treasure my copy.
