This is a fantastic series. It is so interesting to see things from the servants' perspective. I am currently reading "Cakes and Ale" by W. Somerset Maugham and the parallels are fascinating.

Cynthia Rylant can do no wrong, it would seem. This little gem is a delightful read for little kids. I liked it but my 5-year old daughter really enjoyed it. It's sweet and fun.

A mother recommended this series to me when my daughter seemed interested in fairies. The other mom said, unlike some other series, this one was well-written and interesting for the reader as well as the listener. It turns out I truly did enjoy reading them to my 5-year old daughter and my 9-year old son even liked them! We read the whole series of Fairy Realm books and really enjoyed them.
