About Quatro Books Natural History of Fairies
Compiled in the 1920's by a botanist Professor for her niece, this gorgeous and enchantingly illustrated natural history of Fairies, featuring a gold foil–embossed cloth cover, a ribbon marker and sprayed gold edges, is filled with colourful sketches and precise notes detailing the secret life of fairies and their important role in the natural world.
Immerse yourself in this hidden world as you learn all about:
- The anatomy of a fairy (Land-based fairies have individual, separated toes, just as humans do. However, many species of water fairy have webbed feet.)
- The life cycle of a fairy (When walking in the heather, be careful of the tiny flutterpillar of the Wicklow Fairy, decked out in greens and purples.)
- Clever fairy camouflage (Reed fairies living in wetlands usually wear striped clothes to hide among the tall reeds.)
- Fairies around the world (Meet the Lily Hopper of sub-Saharan Africa, the Queen Fairy of New Guinea, the Penguin Fairy of the Antarctic and many more.)
- Fairy habitats (Fairies make their homes in all types of places: woodlands, jungles, deserts, the Poles and even human homes.)
