A LEARNING LINK TO PASADENA MUSEUM OF HISTORY
One hundred years ago there was a big debate about whether fairies were real or make believe. All over the world children of that time were enchanted by stories of little creatures who tended the flowers of every garden. There were many beautifully illustrated children's books that showed rose fairies, pansy fairies, hollyhock fairies and other beautiful creatures. In these books fairies looked like tiny people with clothes made of flower petals. Maybe because children are so much closer to the ground than adults, fairies always seemed possible to them. >>
