An artistic guide to mysterious fairies and where to find them. Small nature spirits live hidden from our eyes all around us. What are they and where can we find them? This and many other questions are answered in the fully illustrated handbook from the 1920s, compiled by a renowned botanist, Professor Arbor, for her goddaughter Annabelle, and now presented to the public for the first time.

The book features photos and sketches by the botanist and describes the secret and important role of fairies in nature. These mysterious beings support plants, flowers, and animals—unnoticed by our eyes: they check the flowers every morning to ensure that the plants have enough dew, help the flowers bloom at the right time and in the desired color, create a bellflower forest every spring, clear the forest floor of leaves and broken branches, assist the seasons in their coming and going, and keep trees healthy.

For the first time, topics such as the anatomy of fairies, their camouflage and languages, habits, habitats, and life cycle are gathered in a comprehensive handbook. This book is both a natural history and a practical guide for recognizing and caring for fairies. It sheds light on a hidden world that will delight fairy enthusiasts around the globe. This book is produced in a climate-neutral manner.
