| Publication Overview Reviewed in National Review Network Trends 2006
The Faery Garden is a quintessential book for the fairy lover.
Beatrice Phillpotts begins with the history of fairy legends and various aspects of these myths we may not be aware of. She writes about the different fairies for spring, summer, autumn, and winter. With each season, the magical and healing uses for numerous plants are listed.
Readers will learn how to create a fairy garden. Four different gardens are presented: love spells, magic protection, healing, and flower remedies.
The cover artwork and illustrations by Kim Glass are well done and include drawings of gnomes, flower and tree fairies, and magical beasts. The thickly padded, silky smooth cover has a fairy sitting on a stem of green leaves among blue wildflowers.
Gardeners, healers, Pagans, children, and fairy lovers will enjoy this beautiful book.
