[Kate Howe]

An unexpected delightful 19th century nonfiction! This is a series of scientific lectures aimed at children and I found it so engaging and utterly fascinating. There are truly so many daily wonders around us that we take for granted. Looking forward to reading more by Arabella Buckley!

[Mrs. Worldwide]

honestly so much fun and so informative. i can only hope my essay on it will live up to its brilliance

There are forces around us, and among us, which I shall ask you to allow me to call fairies, and these are ten thousand times more wonderful, more magical, and more beautiful in their work, than those of the old fairy tales. They, too, are invisible, and many people live and die without ever seeing them or caring to see them. These people go about with their eyes shut, either because they will not open them, or because no one has taught them how to see.
