Fairy Island: An Enchanting Tour of the Homes of the Little Folk by Laura C. Martin and Cameron Martin (Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, $15.95)
On a remote island, botanist Christine Newkirk makes a magical discovery: five tiny fairy houses, each delightful in detail. A doting grandmother, she sends gorgeous letters, written in cursive and complete with photos and illustrations, sharing the secret with her beloved granddaughter, Katherine.
Nature-crafter Laura C. Martin and her daughter, photographer Cameron Martin, are the real-life Atlanta creators of this fairy tale. Laura meticulously made the diminutive houses, while Cameron captured overall and up close images of the miniature marvels. Nancy Dorman-Hickson
