Through a Faery Stone: The Secret World of Faerie

by Dee Stotts, Ed Hicks

This is what faeries are really about… Take another visit to fairyland, via this sister volume to Maxine Gadd’s Faeries and Other Fantastical Folk —a volume that has already reprinted three times. Artist Ed Hicks demonstrates his facility with the genre in a charming, beautifully produced look at these eternally popular and magical beings.  His pastel paintings evoke a luminous and lovely world, all complemented by Dee Stotts’ gentle, mysterious verse. Meet the Night Fairy with her long ears and purple wings; Ebrilla the Tree Fairy, resting on a branch amid pink petals; the Fairy of Creativity, sitting on a book and waving her wand over tubes of paint; and many other unique creatures.

Well, this was a fast book to read. It only took about a half hour. I probably could have finished sooner, but I had to take time to admire the fine artwork of Ed Hicks. I think anyone who is fascinated with faeries and loves poetry and art should check this book out. I should mention the artwork is too mature for young children.
