Fairy Handbook

This is a fun book, full of cheerful illustrations describing this author’s imaginings of what the world of fairies is like:  it declares that fairies were created from the love of girls and butterflies, and goes on to describe them in different types of settings, with different kinds of wings, and different purposes.  The illustrations have lots of pink and lots of flowers, and I know a lot of girls at my school who will eat it up.  My one gripe with the book is that when it lists different celebrations fairies have, it lists the longest night of the year celebrated on December 7th instead of December 21st.  Oh well.
