"There is a wonderland right here at home, if one has the eyes to see, the ears to hear, and the heart to feel and understand."
Do you long to travel to fairyland, to discover the secrets hidden among the flowers and butterflies? This delightful story tells of the day that little Ruth does exactly that, without ever leaving her own back yard. Suddenly able to hear the wind and insects speak, Ruth listens as they tell her of their secret world. A world she thought she knew.
The Real Fairy Folk is part myth, part science, and part poetry reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. Lyrical prose woven together with witty banter teaches the reader about nature and science.
Typeset in a 14-point font for good readability and illustrated with the whimsy such a tale deserves, we hope you will love reading it aloud or handing it to your own nature lovers, young or young at heart.
