An Illustrated Handbook To Fairies And Their Habitats.
Fairies have moved on since the classic depictions of them by the artists Arthur Rackham and Cicely M Barker. They now inhabit a very different world. This book sets out to show us modern-day fairies of all types and nationalities, and their behaviour and habitats.
The author, Betty Bib, once a celebrated collector of fairies, now works on their behalf to promote fairy welfare and protect endangered species.
'Betty Bib's Fairy Field Guide' is based on a bird or butterfly identification manual, with information on how to spot fairies, how to learn about their feeding habits and how to make the environment a more congenial place for them to live. It includes Betty's watercolour paintings, photographs and, uniquely, actual fairies that have agreed to pose to help promote understanding of their species.
Fairies are magical, mischievous, eccentric and very much drawn to our world. This book aims to show how we can attract them into our lives and make us realize that it's in the little things that magic abounds.
