Quarto Books has a huge selection of books available - books make great gifts anytime of year, and I was happy to review a book that was perfect for my older daughter, The Natural History of Fairies.
My daughter loves fantasy books, and she is also really interested in art. This was a book that did a great job at combining both. The book has beautiful illustrations and a wealth of information about the mythical creatures. It was a lot of fun for her to read (and gave her more ideas and context for creating her own stories about fairies).
Topics covered in the book include the anatomy of fairies, life cycles, camouflage, habitats, and specific fairies from around the world. It's a wonderfully imaginative book, with a high-quality look and feel.
