I didn't mind but I do want to warn others that there are pictures of nude fairies in here (full frontal and plenty of butt cracks). Just wanted to warn parents that want to share a book about pressing fairies as if they were flowers with their young'uns. Pressing flowers is an any-age type of activity but a book about pressing fairies, who aren't always dressed, should probably be labeled at least Young Adult.

I came across Robin Hobb using the Cottington Fairies instead of butterflies to get a point across: described writing as “chasing butterflies and trying not to crush them” and interviewer asked her to expand on the idea. “I get an idea, I can see it, and it’s absolutely beautiful, and I start writing it and I get it trapped on the page and it’s not what I meant to write,” she said.

“And the rewriting is arranging the little body and trying to make it look nice! I enjoy rewriting much more than I do doing first drafts. It’s really hard, but rewriting, you at least have something to work with, and you can make it better. First drafts are very hard for me.”

More of a pick-up-on-occasion sort of a book, and very silly. Fun, in a, "No more than four pages with coffee in the afternoon," Sort of a way - and that's a good thing. ( )

This was a perfect combination. Fun drawings of fairies teamed with humour ( )

Interesting. Not that I like squished fairies. ( )

haha! Love it. I have a calendar with pictures from this book from... 10 years ago?! I took them out and dedicated a picture frame on my wall to them. I like to switch them out every so often.
