Emily Hawkins presents A Natural History of Fairies, a book that documents a field researcher's findings about the fairy species. This book is beautifully illustrated by Jessica Roux.

Hawkins has clearly put a lot of research into making this work biologically reasonable and sound. The anatomy, taxonomy, habitats, food sources, and natural allies and enemies were all featured and well thought out. In addition to the brilliant descriptions by Hawkins, Roux's illustrations really make the book come to life in the manner of a textbook or field notebook.

I would absolutely recommend this book to any young reader (or young at heart!) who is interested in learning more about fairies in a manner that is scientifically minded. I enjoyed the logic and reason showcased by Hawkins and the beauty contributed by Roux.

A book dedicated to a Linnean taxonomy of fairies. In addition to the descriptions, the drawings are really very beautiful, so much so that it goes from the definition of "children's book" to "coffee table book".

Un libro dedicato ad una tassonomia linneana delle fate. Oltre alla descrizioni c'é da dire che i disegni sono veramente molto belli, tanto da passare dalla definizione di "libro per bambini" a "libro per il tavolino del caffé".

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

This book is about a fairy researchers field notes. She always tried to keep her passion a secret because she feared she'd be ridiculed otherwise, so you have to discover them for yourself.

I'd adored this as a child. It would have been one of my favourite things. Not necessarily because it's about fairies, but because I love mockumentary style things. I still have my dragonology books by Ernest Drake and could remember that name just now without even wanting to. It simply popped in my head.

This book is illustrated, and a great way to sneak some knowledge into your child, about different habitats, what a habitat is, how to identify different trees by the shape of their leafs.

It is fun, so share it!
