The Night Fairy


Book Description

From 2008 Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz comes an exhilarating new adventure -- and a thoroughly original fairy who is a true force of nature. (Ages 7-11) What would happen to a fairy if she lost her wings and could no longer fly? Flory, a young night fairy no taller than an acorn and still becoming accustomed to her wings -- wings as beautiful as those of a luna moth -- is about to find out. What she discovers is that the world is very big and very dangerous. But Flory is fierce and willing to do whatever it takes to survive. If that means telling others what to do -- like Skuggle, a squirrel ruled by his stomach -- so be it. Not every creature, however, is as willing to bend to Flory’s demands. Newbery Medal winner Laura Amy Schlitz and world-renowned illustrator and miniaturist Angela Barrett venture into the realm of the illustrated classic -- a classic entirely and exquisitely of their making, and a magnificent adventure.

The Book of Elves and Fairies


Book Description

Olcott's The Book of Elves and Fairies is a wonderful introduction into the world of fairies, leprechauns, pixies, elves and a host of other magical creatures. The book includes both classic children's stories like "Cinderella" as well as similarly lovely, though lesser-known tales. Stories from around the world were chosen for the collection, and the book includes myths and legends from regions like Ireland, China, Japan, England and the South Seas. The fairy tales have been carefully translated into English, and, because they are intended for children, any frightening elements have been eliminated from the stories. The editor's goal in assembling the book was to choose stories that possessed qualities to help grow the minds of young people and to enliven their imaginations. The stories in the book "stimulate a child's imagination, feed his fancy, and satisfy poetically his groping after things unseen." In all, the book serves as an important reference for those interested in learning about magical creatures and fantastic entertainment for the casual reader.
