        If you still believe in fairies, or want some imagination in your garden, this title will have appeal. Artist and author Smith presents a series of delicate constructs that blend into outdoor settings. Chapters concentrate on different architectural elements and the use of natural and artificial materials. Final designs illustrate the incorporation of elements for a complete structure. This book is thoroughly different from Katie Elzer-Peters's Miniature Gardens and Janit Calvo's Gardening in Miniature, both of which delve more into plantings. VERDICT While charming and sweet, the fairy houses here are not hardy enough to hold up to inclement weather and temperature. Nevertheless, this recommended title is fun and unique.
