Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

3 out of 5 stars Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

5 out of 5 stars Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

5 out of 5 stars Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

4 out of 5 stars History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

5 out of 5 stars A little girl long ago.......2007-09-22

Sixty Five years ago, when I was a little girl, I sat at my fathers feet looking at a book that had marvelous pictures of beautiful fairys, so stunning were their bright colors and silky wings that it completely took my breath away for never could I have pictured anything quite so awsome as these tiny little creatures, that I was sure were hiding beneath the petals of flowers in mothers garden, that I had yet to see. I kept this memory all my life sharing it with my children, when they were little, and now my grandchildren. Imagine my astonishment to once again see these beautiful little people again. Take a trip back to childhood and enjoy this beautiful book, share it with your children but keep it for the child that is you.

5 out of 5 stars Same faires in the all the small books.......2007-09-09

Beautiful book - I am painting a mural for my daughter's room and wanted to get all the images possible so I bought all the books by this author thinking I was getting a menagerie. But I wasted $ on shipping both ways when I had to send them back upon seeing the smaller tree, flowers, and seasons books were all put together in one place. Just wanted others to know that this large hardback pretty much has it all.

Don't doubt about buying it, you will be buying a TREASURE..

5 out of 5 stars Botanically Accurate.......2007-01-17

This book is a lot of fun for me as a plant lover and avid gardener because of Mary Cicely Barker's attention to detail (when she was alive, she used Kew Gardens as a resource to make sure her drawings were botanically accurate). Bug lovers feel the same way; I've seen her praised on ornithology sites because her fairy wings are accurately drawn insect wings! I like it best of her books because it contains all her drawings in one volume.

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful book for hosting a fairy party.......2007-09-17

This book was very helpful in hosting my daughter's 6th birthday Fairy Party! It had wonderful ideas, invitations to punch out (although I had to photo copy to make more as it only came with 4), and a whole section on "manners" when hosting a fairy party. Out of the 3 books I bought on this subject this one was the most useful and my favorite.

2 out of 5 stars Very little information.......2007-08-04

This book is beautiful, but not worth the price. It has very little information on having a fairy party. There is better, free information online.

5 out of 5 stars Magical Book.......2007-02-15

I bought this as the companion book for Flower Fairies Tea Party theme at Birthday Express. I also bought Fairy Crafts: 23 Enchanting Toys, Gifts, Costumes, and Party Decorations & Sweet Pea's Garden: Special Things to Make. All of this combined to make my daughter's special day very magical. In fact, if I only had this book, and Sweet Pea's Garden, I still would have had everything I needed.

I admit the recipes aren't that original although I liked the idea of using peaches as little bowls for fruit salad. Martha Stewart has a great idea for a pixie party with a nice menu. And Fairy Food is a cute little cookbook by Rebecca Gilpin that might give you some ideas. I didn't buy this book for food ideas though and I loved it. This book is worth having just for the artwork! I taped a ziplock bag to the inside back cover to keep all the punch outs together. I plan on using this book again for many more parties. And I photo copied the invitations. There just weren't enough for all of my daughters guests. This book even touches slightly on a hostesses duties wich was perfect.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful, my daughter loves it........2006-01-26

While the book is indeed only 28 pages, that's hardly the point. Think of it as 28 pages of ideas and activites that will keep your child entertained for weeks. I am suprised that my daughter has managed to keep track of all the little pieces that came with the book. This book taught her this! She still reads/plays with this book after three months.

2 out of 5 stars Book is just 28 pages.......2005-04-27

There are only 4 recipes, and those are far from original. And the entire book has only 28 pages!

This is a perfectly lovely coloring book for your children. The
fairy pictures are beautiful and it is made just for fun.

5 out of 5 stars Great for Hours of Fun.......2006-07-03

My daughters and niece play together frequently. They are ages four, five, and seven. I bought extra books because they all wanted to color in the first one. I didn't think this would hold the seven year olds interest, but it has. The fairies are beautiful, just like Cicely Mary Barker's artwork, and there is a lot of variety. I like the idea of the alphabet book combined with coloring, even though the girls have long since learned their letters. They were not, however, familiar with all of the flowers, so this has been a learning tool too. Great fun and highly recommended for a variety of ages of girls.

5 out of 5 stars Delightful coloring fun.......2003-11-04

What a find for lovers of fairies! Barker's drawings are the sweetest, most whimsical of all. The flowers are accurately drawn and the fairies enchanting. My daughter and I both adore this book. Caution though - don't use markers, as they will bleed through the pages. A wonderful gift for any girl at a terrific price.

5 out of 5 stars The Flower Fairies Alphabet Coloring Book.......2000-05-17

This is a beautiful coloring book. The drawings are wonderful and true to Cicely Mary Barker's original artwork. This book is suitable for an older child or an adult collector. Highly recommended.

My 12 year old granddaughter has really taken an interest in reading during the last few months and I was looking for a fanciful and fun series after she had read all the Limney Snickets books she could get her hands on.
This fills the bill and today we just ordered 2 more for collection.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful book for girls, 3 through 8 or so!.......2005-02-10


This book is the 2nd in the "Fairy Realm" series (the first being 'The Charm Bracelet'). I read this to my girls who are 5 and 7 and they both loved it! It's easy to follow, but has elements that really challenge kids' imaginations. Even my five-year-old spent time contemplating the goings-on in this book inbetween chapters.

In the first book, the heroine, "Jesse" must save the realm from a bad person. But in this book and the subsequent ones, the challenges are in Jesse having to rise to a particular challenge rather than defeat a "bad guy". In this story, it turns out, the folks in the realm are having problems because the Queen's pet Griffins are overzealous in their guard-dog responsibilities while the Queen is away travelling and Jesse must find a way to get them back on task, while simultaneously also working through one of her own problems (she can't dance, but has to do it in a school play).

The book is about 10 chapters long, each one will only take 10 minutes or less to read. It's probably written at a 3rd or 4th grade level so a young reader could read it themselves if they are up to grinding through 100 pages or so.

I personally don't think boys beyond 6 or 7 would be thrilled with this story, but this whole series is perfect for providing a young-girl hero/role-model for the young girl readers. And also, these stories do a very good-job of introducing fairy-tale and mythic elements that kids are going to encounter all through their lives in books and movies.

Overall, a great story and well worth reading for young girls.

But Jessie can't dance, and that fact is beginning to worry her, as she's supposed to dance in her school play, in front of everyone. However, right now that's the least of her worries, for in the Fairy Realm, the pack of griffins who guard the Queen's treasure house are completely out of control, and destroying the Fairy Realm as she knows it. It's up to Jessie to try to save Fairy Realm before irreparable damage is done. But the worst has yet to come, for the young Flower Fairies have now followed Jessie out of the Realm and into her own world, and it's up to her to protect them from danger.

In this second installment in the FAIRY REALM series, Emily Rodda has brought back the heroic young Jessie, and placed her in a new situation and adventure that will have fans of the previous book in the series THE CHARM BRACELET, jumping for joy. THE FLOWER FAIRIES contains wonderful descriptions of the beautiful young flower fairies, and holds new magical dialogue that is an absolute pleasure to read. The black and white illustrations at the beginning of each chapter are also quite marvelous, and will add faces to each of the characters throughout the story. A must-have for anyone looking to read a delightful fantasy.

5 out of 5 stars Flower Children - Nature Sprites of a Bygone Day.......2001-11-20

Originally published in 1918, this beautiful picture book is filled with sweet little flower children that look a lot like fairies but of course they are only "playmates of the fairies" so they don't always have wings. They are dressed in the most charming Victorian costumes including lace petticoats, bonnets, pinnafores, spats, and waistcoats. Each one represents a wild flower, rendered in satisfying detail by this talented illustrator and accompanied by a nostalgic little poem. The flowers are identified by their Latin names as well as their often quaint and colorful folk names such as Frostweed, Virgin's Bower, Pearly Everlasting, Baby Blue Eyes and Gold Thread.
I love this book and the other three by the same writer, Bird Children, Flower Children, and Mother Earth's Children. I'm so glad they are back in print and I know they will delight anyone who believes in fairies.

THIS BOOK IS ONE OF THE WORST FAIRIE BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ. NOT ONLY IS THE WRITING HORRIBLE, BUT SO ARE THE PICTURES.

5 out of 5 stars Our girls LOVE this fairy book.......2006-01-28

The illustrations are really nice. Beautiful. Our 3 preschool daughers are very into fairies right now and they LOVE this book. They love the stories associated with all the flowers. Part of me would think the book would be a bit old for them, but not at all. They love it and want to read it over and over and over.

4 out of 5 stars Enhanced pictures, cute text.......2004-12-16

My 5-year old enjoyed this introduction to the flower fairy friends. It takes the lovely drawings of Cicely Mary Barker and places them with photographs of flowers, and combines them in different ways. It is neatly done. The text describes the different fairies and what their personalities are like. It is sweet but uninspired. We're looking forward to reading others id the Flower Fairy Friends series.

5 out of 5 stars Fairy Tales Paper Dolls.......2007-07-12

Remembering how much - and how many hours - of fun my sister and I had playing with paper dolls, I wanted to find some for my 3 granddaughters. I love these little fairies and came accross the sticker books to go with them. Hours and Hours of fun and imagination!

5 out of 5 stars Flower Paper Dolls.......2007-02-08

I really enjoyed this paper doll book. I even cut out the little sample pictures on the first page and made them into smaller paper dolls. While the colors are the muted colors of nature, I found each one beautiful. For those of you who want more bling, just add some glitter glue. I liked that each costume had a front and a back.

2 out of 5 stars well made but not very pretty.......2006-08-29

the dolls are made from very good paper, very sturdy. And I have to say I like the design of the clothes whereas they have a front and back that fold over the dolls. The dolls themselves are very pretty.
The details are very nice but the dresses are just not very pretty. My girls and I expected fairy tales dress but got a little too woodsy ones. the colors are really quite dull- a lot of browns and greens. Pretty pastels or bright colors like flowers would have been better. The best thing we can do is mabey make our own dresses.
Sorry, can not recommend this to anyone. I would not have wasted my money it if I had seen it in a store first.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful!!.......2006-04-01

My daughter received this as a gift for her 4th birthday, she loves dressing the paper doll fairies and they are stunningly beautiful. The outfits are also gorgeous with lots of detail and there is a pocket in the back of the book to hold all the outfits in. This is the ideal gift for when a classmate has a birthday party, it is unique, inexpensive and encourages imaginative play.

These paper dolls are not princesses, they are woodland fairies. They are unique and beautiful, not the same old gawdy princess-vapor stuff you see at Walmart and the like.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Fun.......2005-11-16

My 8 year old daughter loves these paper dolls. They are of high quality and the illustration style is just beautiful. We have a lot of Cicely Mary Barker stuff and these are true to the beauty of the original books. I would recommend them for any little girl (or boy! There are boy fairies in here too) who loves fairies.

5 out of 5 stars More than just Stickers.......2007-08-04

This is a great little "keep busy" book for kids. I'm looking after my own and my sister's children at present, four all together ages 2-6, and even the two boys have enjoyed this. The games, activities, and stickers have allowed them to both use their imaginations and create beautiful gifts and decoratives. We have made birthday and get-well cards, posters, refrigerator art, and we have written letters to, and received letters from, the fairies. As usual, Barker's art is perfect for its beauty and appeal to children and adults alike. Great use of her art to help kids imagine and create.

5 out of 5 stars Faries Sticker Book.......2007-07-12

Love this little book for my grandaughters (1 each for all 3!). I like it because it does not have a modern jazzy type art layout. It's beautiful and lets them use their imagination.

My girls (ages 4 and 5) love this book and all the sweet fairy crafts they can make. Our personal favorite is the fairy garden and the minuscule decorations for it. I want to make one for myself!

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Book.......2007-02-14

I got this, along with How to Host a Flower Fairy Tea Party to use for decorating ideas at my daughters birthday party. The items are very simple to make and most required items that are easily found around the house. And you don't necassarily have to be having a birthday, or an kind of party, to have fun with this book. The fun projects include items suchs as planting and decorating a fairy garden, making you own wings, fairy dust, etc. There are 14 projects in all. The stickers are wonderful and I almost hate to use them. A beautiful book that's worth owning just for the illustrations.
