Booklist: Fairy Nice

If a book has a fairy on the cover, chances are I'll pick it up and read the plot summary. If it sounds good, I have to read the book. My two favorite fictional fairies - say that ten times fast - are Tinker Bell from Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie and Tiki from The Fairy Rebel by Lynne Reid Banks. The following titles are fairy nice.

Classics
Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie
A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare
The Fairy Books by Andrew Lang

Artwork and Poetry
Flower Fairies books by Cicely Mary Barker (the originals, please)
In the Realm of the Never Fairies: The Secret World of Pixie Hollow, designed by Elizabeth Ryazantseva and Megan Krempels, with text by Monique Peterson and illustrations by The Disney Storybook Artists

Picture Books
The Tooth Fairy by Audrey Wood

Juvenile Fiction
The Fairy Rebel by Lynne Reid Banks
(This is one of my favorite children's books of all time.)

Juvenile Series
Fairy Realm by Emily Rodda
Disney Fairies by various authors (These are related to Tinker Bell.)
The Spiderwick Chronicles by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black
Candy Fairies by Helen Perelman, illustrated by Erica-Jane Waters
The Fairy Godmother's Academy by Jan Bozarth

Teen Fiction
(Note that some of these titles have cruel pixies or evil fairies in addition to or instead of the nice kind!)

The Modern Faerie Tales by Holly Black:
- Tithe
- Valiant
- Ironside

Poison by Chris Wooding

How to Ditch Your Fairy by Justine Larbalestier

Need series by Carrie Jones:

- Captivate
- Entice

Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Marr:

- Darkest Mercy

Tink Tidbits
As mentioned earlier, I adore the character of Tinker Bell as created by J.M. Barrie. I also like Disney's depiction of her. Learn more about my Tink fandom.
