书籍简介

这部由植物学家 Elsie Arbor 教授在 1920 年代为她的侄女编写的迷人插图自然史，现在为今天的读者揭开面纱。

这本华丽的书本采用金箔压纹布封面、丝带标记和喷金边缘，充满了色彩缤纷的草图和准确的笔记，详细描述了仙女的秘密生活及其在自然界中的重要作用。

在里面，您会发现世界各地种类繁多、精彩纷呈的仙女，并探索它们的生活地点和方式。当您了解以下所有内容时，在这个隐藏的世界中感到高兴：

仙女的解剖结构（陆上仙女有独立的、分开的脚趾，就像人类一样。然而，许多水仙都有蹼足。）

仙女的生命周期（在石南花中行走时，要小心威克洛仙女的小蝶毛虫，它装饰着绿色和紫色。）

巧妙的仙女伪装（生活在湿地的芦苇仙子通常穿着条纹衣服躲在高大的芦苇丛中。）

世界各地的仙女（认识撒哈拉以南非洲的花、新几内亚的女王仙子、南极的企鹅仙子等等。）

仙女栖息地（仙女在各种地方安家：林地、丛林、沙漠、波兰人甚至人类家园。）

之后提醒我们必须保护仙女和所有其他生物的濒临灭绝的栖息地，这是一本值得一生珍藏的书。

This enchantingly illustrated natural history of fairies, compiled in the 1920s by the botanist Professor Elsie Arbour for her niece, is now unveiled for readers of today.

Featuring a gold foil–embossed cloth cover, a ribbon marker and sprayed gold edges, this gorgeous volume is filled with colourful sketches and precise notes detailing the secret life of fairies and their important role in the natural world.

Inside, you will discover the wide and wonderful array of different species of fairy around the globe and explore where and how they live. Delight in this hidden world as you learn all about:

The anatomy of a fairy (Land-based fairies have individual, separated toes, just as humans do. However, many species of water fairy have webbed feet.)

The life cycle of a fairy (When walking in the heather, be careful of the tiny flutterpillar of the Wicklow Fairy, decked out in greens and purples.)

Clever fairy camouflage (Reed fairies living in wetlands usually wear striped clothes to hide among the tall reeds.)

Fairies around the world (Meet the Lily Hopper of sub-Saharan Africa, the Queen Fairy of New Guinea, the Penguin Fairy of the Antarctic and many more.)

Fairy habitats (Fairies make their homes in all types of places: woodlands, jungles, deserts, the Poles and even human homes.)

Concluding with a reminder that we must protect the endangered habitats of fairies, and all other creatures too, this is a book to be treasured for a lifetime.
