When I was a little nag I used to love fairy stories with their pretty pictures of gauzy-winged gentle creatures. My all time favourite was the Flower Fairies series. I'm not sure what I would have made of Tessa Farmer's Miniature Worlds.
Farmer's creatures acknowledge the nastier side of childhood imagination, the antithesis of the Victorian notions of fantasy they seem to emulate.
