Throughout the ages, people have given the fairy kingdom various names. To some it was Paradise, to others Tir-nan-Og, Avalon, Country Underneath the Sea, Fairy Land, World of Immortal Youth, Land of Heart's Desire, Land of Life, or the Middle Kingdom. Fairy tales - the stories of this kingdom - are not only folk literature but also accounts of the subtler layers of fact clothed in poetic imagery. Rudolf Steiner was a close observer of the fairy kingdom and gave many lectures that describe the work of its inhabitants, whom he called elementals. It was clear to Steiner that these elementals were of great importance to the Earth, charged not only with the maintenance of Nature's household, but also with her evolutionary plans. He also spoke of how vital it is that we get to know these fairy workers and honor the work they do, so that their efforts prosper to carry the Earth forward in its evolution. Written and illustrated by two insightful women who experienced the fairy kingdom directly, this book offers a profound, yet simple introduction to fairy worlds and workers. Includes Ingrid Gibb's color paintings of the four races of Little People: Undines (water spirits), Gnomes (earth spirits), Sylphs (air spirits), and Fire-Spirits.

Poppy P discovers how positive thoughts about a difficult situation bring rewards. Growing up is a confusing time, it always has been. We're in increasingly politicised times which permeate from the earliest experience of the world through to our later years. Poppy P's story acknowledges the confusion which can be felt by all children and encourages them to question the input to their senses, process it, perceive it and in turn react to it how they want. Freedom of thought is the epitome of a healthy mind, it is dangerous to be told 'facts' at such a young age and have these, sometimes, conflicting with a child's own feelings. By having one's own perspective, it promotes transparent conversation with family and peers and as we know, it helps to talk. One of the biggest solutions for some people struggling with mental health is to discuss feelings. Poppy P will allow children to question the world around them in a positive way.
