Book Reviews of Return to Fairyopolis (Flower Fairies)
Book Review: Even less innovation than before
Summary: 1 Stars
They have done it again, another theft from the ideas of better authors and publishers. The author/editors of Fairyopolis have clearly poured over Brian Froud's Lady Cottington series (especially the latest volume which includes numerous letters) and what a surprise! They have produced a book with a very similar conceit: a girl desirous to see something of the otherworld who writes to beloved mentors; letters, notes, marginalia, receipts and etc. included. Bravo, Fairyopolis! Another rip-off. Though I have a large collection of every possible book you can imagine on Faeries, I refuse to purchase books from this publisher who merely wait until better writers publish something, only to then copy their innovation in the most simplistic way. A poor lesson for children of any age. Barker's art remains lovely, too bad the family didn't keep up the copyright that would have prevent this publisher from using her art in such a shoddy way.
PS, what in the world does "Fairyopolis mean?? Are they aware "polis" means " a city-state"? What can that possibly have to do with fairies?? Why didn't they call it Fairyology? Oh wait...someone else was already using the Ology name to make far better books. Better to create an absurd name, but then copy someone elses style and concept. Well done, Fairyopolis.
