A beautifully illustrated guide to the fairy folk of the world,
with magical stories, maps revealing their locations and amazing
tales of close encounters. Do you think of fairies as small, winged
creatures? Well, they can be, but did you know that they can also
be tinier than ants or as large as humans? Many do fly, but others,
such as the goblin and the gnome, walk on the ground as we do.
Magical, mysterious and sometimes mischievous, fairy folk can be
found all around the globe. Beautifully illustrated maps pinpoint
the locations of fairies on every continent, whilst special feature
spreads take a closer look at fairy lore, fairy magic and rare
sightings. From Cornish pixies and Spanish goblins to the forest
gnomes of the Congo and the elf-like Veli of Fiji, welcome to the
wonderful world of the fairy folk!
Zoom in to watch a hummingbird drink nectar; watch a pea shoot
appear; see a little snail as he comes come out to drink. With
charming text and real science, see nature up close and let it stop
you in your tracks, so that you can truly find joy in the present
moment.
This uplifting picture book showcases the amazing work our
frontline staff do, the incredible skills they have and the
important equipment they need to save a life, in a unique graphic
novel-inspired non-fiction format. With a foreword by British
celebrity Dr Zoe Williams.
