The Fairy Song (Traditional Scottish Tales)

The Fairy Song has really beautiful illustrations and is a lovely story. Parts of it are extremely sad, which you might not be expecting in a book so whimsically titled, but overall the book has a good message.

You get to know a little girl who has a hard life with little joy but then finds herself living with the fairies. She gives them the gift of song and they repay her with a treasure she can take back to the human realm and enjoy for the rest of her life.

If you love fairies, you’ll appreciate this book. It would appeal to boys and girls of all ages and is even better when read aloud if you make up a really nice tune to go with the story.
