Customer Reviews Fairies Drawing
Once again, another spectacular Fairies Drawing book from the bible series. I found this book to be absolutely delightful, if not a bit educational. I have read other books on fairies and actually already knew most of what I found in this book; however, I am still glad to have added it to my collection as it is perfect for loaning out to beginners and for quick reference. Though the intent of the text is to teach people how to incorporate the Fair Folk into their lives and work with them as spiritual companions, the bulk of the Fairies Drawing book is dedicated to fairy lore from various cultures, making it a good read even for people with no interest in contacting the Good People. Overall, the book has a new age, feel good vibe to it with definite Pagan undertones. I liked a lot of the author's ideas for connecting with the fairies, like creating fairy altars, and I think people of any faith can put them to use. The only problem I had, which is why this book gets four stars instead of five, is that the author completely overlooks the dangerous side of the Fae and gives no information about the rules of proper human-fay etiquette. Other than that, this Fairies Drawing book is a great addition to the library of any fairyphile or fan of the series. By The Good Fairy
This book is small and thick, and loaded with information from start to finish. My child and 10 year old niece couldn't put it down and were enchanted by the illustrations that encourage the imagination to run wild. There is emphasis on breadth of knowledge rather than depth, covering many types of fairies/ realms, making it a fabulous starting point for anyone interested in exploring the origins of fairies from different cultures, era's, legends and myths. It's light-hearted, although it does cover the light and shadow sides of the elemental/ fairy kingdom. We enjoy this Fairies Drawing book and refer to it often. By Samwise
I was searching for an illustrated book would provide inspiration for my drawings/paintings. I love mythical creatures and this Fairies Drawing book is crammed with them. Some of the illustrations were not very pretty, but there were many that were breathtaking. The author took the book a bit too seriously and it was a bit "preachy". That was a bit offensive to me, but overall I enjoyed the book. I especially liked the illustrations of the mermaids. I would highly recommend this book for young and old alike. It will put you on a lovely path towards appreciating what is right under your nose and offer you a fresh perspective By heidi howard
