Product Description

Review

The Fairy Chronicles are a fantastic series of books by J H Sweet. They are well written, wonderfully magical and would make a fantastic book to read to your children at bedtime. Older children would also enjoy reading them alone as the words are clear and concise and in large print. The illustrations both on the front cover and inside the books are beautiful and full of colour. Each one is extremely detailed and a lot of time and energy has obviously gone into the design. Over all, The Fairy Chronicles are highly recommended by Enchanted Entertainment as great fun for children of all ages. We have rated this book four out of five. --Enchanted Entertaiment (UK)

5.0 out of 5 stars My Daughter's Favourite Book, 18 Nov 2004
This review is from: The Fairy Chronicles Book One: Marigold and the Feather of Hope (Paperback)
I read this book to my four-year-old daughter, and she has since become obsessed with it. We continue to read it chapter by chapter, over and over again each night. She runs around the house and back yard pretending to be Marigold and Dragonfly, and she has demanded a peacock feather wand and a fairy handbook. After doing some research on this series, I have discovered that the pages of a fairy handbook appear blank to ordinary people, so it was easy to buy a blank journal and print a label for the cover. Now, she writes in her fairy handbook daily with crayons, usually 3 giant words per page, and draws pictures of butterflies and fairies. Having almost memorized this book, I am looking forward to the day whan she can read it on her own. I recommend Marigold and the Feather of Hope to any parent of a fairy princess with a word of warning - this story can be addictive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Fairy Tale, 9 Nov 2004
This review is from: The Fairy Chronicles Book One: Marigold and the Feather of Hope (Paperback)
Beth is marigold fairy. She attends fairy circle and meets her new friends Dragonfly, Thistle, and Firefly. With help from Beth's dachshund, Peanut, they set out on a mission to rescue the Feather of Hope (the source of all hope on earth) from a house full of nasty gremlins.

This story is highly imaginative and presents a new twist on traditional fairy lore because the fairies are real girls living among us. With an emphasis on respect for nature, tolerance of differences, and helping others, this book has the power to teach as well as entertain. Add in an adorable dog and fun aspects such as the fairies' love for lemon jellybeans, and the gremlins' fear of vacuum cleaners, dachshunds, and stainless steel, and you have a great story to enjoy again and again. Recommended read for all peoples and ages, particularly girls ages 8-14.

5.0 out of 5 stars "A New Fairy Tale Writer", 25 Nov 2005
By Jason Bertolli "Jas" (CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Fairy Chronicles Book One: Marigold and the Feather of Hope (Paperback)
Except for Tale of Despereaux and a few "cautionary tales" there aren't very many new fairy tales being written. This is a higher reading level than Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks. I would say more along the lines of Rapunzel and Cinderella, two of my kid's favorites. However, this book is more modern. There are some morals worked into the story but nothing directly religious. The young girl heroines are very independent and confident for their ages and are good role models for girls. This book would appeal to younger boys too because of the boy fairy brownies, gremlins, dachshund, and because they will probably admire the strong little girls. The brownies also have an incredibly important job in spreading hope over the entire world. I recommend this book for girls 6-12 and boys 6-10. It would be a good read-aloud book for 3-6 year olds. There is also a strong nature aspect to this book because the fairies protect nature. Good story and my kids and I are looking forward to more in this series. Jas Bertolli
