An Enchanted Tour of Fairy Island

August 21st, 2006

Fairy Island by Laura Martin

In this, her field diary, botanist Christine Newkirk documents five magical fairy houses she has found while living on a remote island. Each one of crafted from natural materials – a woodland cottage filled with bent twig furniture, a Japanese house with tiny bamboo slippers by the door; and a beach house with a bath made entirely from shells.
Each page is a delight - the story unfolds though letters from the fictional botanist to her granddaughter along with wonderful colour photography and drawings.
Created by noted botanist, writer, storyteller and nature crafter Laura Martin, Fairy Island is a magical book for children and adults alike.
