Product Description
Ten years after her first encounter at Fairyopolis, Cicely Mary Barker’s young charge, Dulcie, is now a teenager—and her belief in the Flower Fairies is beginning to waver. That is until a journey to the countryside begins to melt her doubt. Investigation, research, and correspondence with her friend (and still a believer) Cicely Mary Barker—along with fairy magic—leads her back to Fairyopolis! With stunning pop-ups, lift-the-flaps, postcards, maps, glitter and more on every spread, this book brings all the fairy magic alive again!

• Very Nice 26 July, 2008
I enjoyed this book just as much as the first one. It is done in very much the same vein and is a treat for the eyes. I love sharing it with my granddaughter.

• Not As Cute As The First Fairyopolis 20 August, 2008
I enjoyed the first Fairyopolis and hope that my one year old daughter will enjoy them someday as well. I agree with the other reviewer that this series is an obvious rip-off of the Lady Cottington series, but the Spiderwick Field Guide is as well, and is absolutely adorable. A whole new genre seems to have emerged, such as that used in the Piratology book, etc, etc. The problem with this book is, I think, that the actual artist/author had absolutely no input (obviously, since she passed away years ago) and the publisher of this book has basically just used her artwork to create a rather dull story. It seems rather slap-dash, with really no thought put in to the story or the 3-D extras. They could've done much better. Perhaps someone had a deadline that had to be met? I would've gladly paid an extra $5 to $10 for more substance. That said, the artwork is still beautiful and the last two pages are fantastic!

• Even Less Innovation Than Before 19 May, 2008
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 waits until better writers publish something, only to then copy their innovation in the most simplistic way. A poor lesson for children on 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.
