Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Bursting with glorious watercolors painted by Cicely Mary Barker in the early 20th century, Fairyopolis: A Flower Fairies Journal is a facsimile scrapbook, which opens with a painting of Bartons, where Barker stayed in Storrington, England, to do some relaxing and painting (and, according to the entries here, some fairy-spotting). Across the elegant parchment-like pages readers will discover the tiny footprints of fairies, a bound-in miniature guide to the wee winged folk and-among the more earthbound souvenirs-a pass to the Storrington library, foldout map of Sussex and recipe for blackberry jam. Fans of Barker's artwork will want to pore over these elegantly designed pages, as will those who believe in fairies. (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
