If you are looking for wonder and excitement in a literature classic reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland or The Secret Garden, look no further. Smidgen Press has taken special care in republishing The Real Fairy Folk by Louise Jamison, making it accessible to modern readers, a lovely addition to e-readers and bookshelves anywhere.
An enchanting book to enliven your nature lessons
There is a wonderland right here at home, if one has the eyes to see, the ears to hear, and the heart to feel and understand.
Do you long to travel to fairyland, to discover the secrets hidden among the flowers and butterflies?
This delightful story tells of the day that little Ruth does exactly that, without ever leaving her home. Suddenly able to hear the wind and insects speak, Ruth listens as they tell her of their secret world. A world she thought she knew.
The Real Fairy Folk is part myth, part science, and part poetry. Each chapter explores more of the outdoor world, cleverly hiding scientific facts among debate by insects, arachnids, and amphibians.
Sit back and let the lyrical prose transport you and your favorite young readers to a lovely garden. Imagine using silly voices to enhance the characters’ witty banter as they present their arguments about why they are the most essential of all the creatures. As you laugh together, we hope your little ones (and not-so-little!) will want to rush out to see what’s hiding in their own back yard, embracing science with newly ignited curiosity.
Illustrated with the whimsy such a tale deserves–and now with 48 new illustrations for this edition!–we’ll love hearing if you’ve reached the end with a contented sigh, enjoying nature in a new way.
Reviewers are already saying:
5 STARS! This precious book is one that I would have loved to have had when my kids were younger and we were in love getting on our hands and knees and digging through the dirt to look at earthworms and running around the yard chasing butterflies. I love the whimsy of The Real Fairy Folk, and the debating banter that the creatures carry on as they each explain their importance in creation.
