What would happen to a fairy if she lost her wings and could no longer fly? Flory, a young night fairy no taller than an acorn and still becoming accustomed to her wings — wings as beautiful as those of a luna moth — is about to find out. What she discovers is that the world is very big and very dangerous. But Flory is fierce and willing to do whatever it takes to survive. If that means telling others what to do — like Skuggle, a squirrel ruled by his stomach — so be it. Not every creature, however, is as willing to bend to Flory’s demands. Newbery Medal winner Laura Amy Schlitz and world-renowned illustrator and miniaturist Angela Barrett venture into the realm of the illustrated classic — a classic entirely and exquisitely of their making, and a magnificent adventure. Review: A Fairy Story for Adventurous Girls (and maybe boys) - When a sleepy bat mistakes her for a moth and takes a bite, Flory the night fairy is left wingless--and with one fear: bats. She decides to become a day fairy to avoid the creatures, but the day is not without its own dangers: squirrels, spiders, praying mantises...but Flory, always stubborn and resourceful, learns to survive and makes a home. The Night Fairy is an ideal read-aloud for any children old enough to handle a few scary moments--the language is lyrical and descriptive, making it a pleasure for the adult reading as well as the child being read to. From the first lovely description on page one, "eyes that sparkled like blackberries under dew," to its humorous and endearing ending, this book is definitely one that fits into that "small gem" category along with its main character. I loved the wonderful world-building of fairy life--the petal dresses, the thorn dagger--I loved the humor and the cast of supporting characters, especially Skuggle, the most squirrel-like squirrel you will ever come across, I loved the adventure, I loved Angela Barrett's beautiful illustrations. The omniscient narrative voice was slightly off-putting; it came across as very obviously human and adult. I would prefer a firmer handle on the fairy perspective, but I will allow that this familiar narrator may make the story readily accessible and familiar to young readers. Review: Flory the Night Fairy - An exquisitely illustrated children's story narrated by Angela Barrett. I collect beautifully illustrated children's books and they are becoming increasingly harder to find. Not since Doctor Rabbit's Foundling illustrated by Cindy Szekeres I have I seen such beautiful illustrations in a children's book. There are thirteen or fourteen full color page illustrations. One of them is on both sides of the page. They are beautiful. Flory is a night fairy whose wings get destroyed by a bat. She decides then to become a day fairy. She meets Skuggle the squirrel and they help each other. She decides she will befriend and tame the hummingbird in the garden and ride on her wings. She saves the hummingbird from a spider web and saves her eggs by warming them. This is a beautiful little fairy tale. Perfect for reading to a grade school child. A great collectible. I will be looking for other Angela Barrett and Laura Schlitz books. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #188,241 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #149 in Children's Country Life Books #1,565 in Children's Nature Books (Books) #5,339 in Children's Action & Adventure Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 633 Reviews | ## Images ![The Night Fairy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/917svZWjmGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fairy Story for Adventurous Girls (and maybe boys) *by T***R on March 26, 2010* When a sleepy bat mistakes her for a moth and takes a bite, Flory the night fairy is left wingless--and with one fear: bats.

I was really disappointed and sad that when things are getting really interesting it ended in mid conversation. 😃☹️😥 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/8230384-the-night-fairy](https://www.desertcart.in/products/8230384-the-night-fairy) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
