With daughters who are fairy addicts, there are few books on the subject that aren't in our library. My girls are pretty hardcore enthusiasts, actively maintaining "fairy houses" both here and at our cottage in Ireland for their tiny friends.
So we've moved beyond cutesy little cartoon fairies into a realm that encompasses a lot of the mythological and historical basis of 'the fairy faith.' It is an environment that includes both the beauty AND the darker side of fairies and this magnificent book touches on both.
Author and photographer Suza Scalora has created a provocative book that is worthy of both a place in your child's library and even on your own coffee table. The images are simply stunning.
The premise? A female photographer takes up the mysterious quest of a scholar whose research centered around how to find and coax fairies in different parts of the world into being photographed (a sneak peek- not all are "nice" fairies and each has its own lures).
It is not a long book, the opposite in fact. But more than any other book on fairies, it is very effective in making a believer of the reader.
For more info, Suza's work is discussed on myth.com.
