Charming!
We LOVE this charming, beautiful, adorable CD. The music has gentle melodies along with the lovely voices of children and adults. I bought this to play at my daughter's pixie and elf party. I now listen to it while I'm working or put it on while she's painting, playing, etc. I can't recommend it enough as a gift OR for your personal collection, whether you have children or not.

Extremely Charming Music
My five year old daughter and I adore this CD. The words are by the great fairy illustrator and poet Cicely Mary Barker. The music is sung by various women, children, and men. It all flows together very well.

The beautiful melodies sound to me to be Renaissance inspired with among others instruments...acoustic guitar, glockenspiel, violin, recorders, transverse flute, Celtic harp, zither, and penny whistle.

The CD packaging is a treat, too. All the lyrics are there among many of examples of Barker's whimsical paintings in a nice booklet.

This CD is especially great during quiet play, bedtime, or as background music during story time. I encourage all parents of young children to listen to the samples Amazon provides. They are all very beautiful. Adults will love it too.

A must for any flower fairy fan...
My daughter, just turned 5, LOVES the flower fairies. This seemed like a logical birthday gift. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the music and voices. I'm no musical expert, but the style seems Elizabethan ,or similar. After playing it twice, my daughter already sings along - it's brought the fairy illustrations to life for her. Very charming, we recommend it!

Great kid's CD and it isn't mind-numbing! lol
Both my 6 and 3 year old daughteres love this CD. The music is well done and even my husband and I enjoy listening to this CD. That is rare since most kid's CDs can be mind numbing! lol The songs are soft enough to let them listen to before bed but also engaging enough for playtime.

Best soft, magical music
My daughter absolutely loves this CD! I put her to bed with it playing, she asks for it every night. It's soft music, either sung by kids or a lady - a few tracks aren't as soft, but it's an easy transition. The fairy story-songs entertain me too (I don't get too tired of listening to it over and over).
