Review: Very, Very Well Done - I am blown away by the quality of this book. I really enjoy Ms. Markova’s artistic vision and her style. I’ve had so much fun with coloring various pictures and trying to do justice to her gorgeous drawings. Technically, the book is tailor-made for colored pencils; markers can be used, but they will bleed through the paper, so use a backing sheet to protect the next picture in the book. The major artwork is, generally speaking, on the right-side pages of the book, with minor artwork generally on the left. There are some exceptions to this where the major artwork is spread across two facing pages. In these cases, minor artwork is placed on the back side of the two pages. Bear this in mind if you want to use markers they will bleed through into the minor artwork. I’m very impressed with the quality of the drawings, with the world the artist created, and with the excellence of the paper and construction of this book. I’m so glad I found this book! Review: Expensive but worth the cost - I really enjoyed this book. Nice hard bound cover. Paper is nice and thick. Pages are not single sided but gel pens don’t bleed through. Drawings are charming. Some have a lot of detail but the details are not too tiny. Yes, it is very expensive for a coloring book. But I have already had hours of enjoyment so I think it was worth it.

Perfection!!!
First off my main choice of medium is watercolor. This book takes watercolor like a PRO! If I feel like coloring I can color, if I feel like using markers I can use markers. The paper is smooth like hot pressed watercolor paper but has just enough tooth to be perfect for colored pencils... I've used prismacolor, polycromos, caran d'ache luminance, caran d'ache neo II's and they ALL work Perfectly!!! Lovely images that are not so small that you can art mindlessly!! Please make more!!

A really nice book!
I love this coloring book. Its a hard cover, very nice art. Right after I bought this and I'm glad I did because it became unavailable right after I got it. Her other two books are now unavailable. I'm hoping she will print more of them because I still want the other two! They are beautiful books. Please get more of these for us to buy!! Thanks.

The BEST...absolutely Beautiful!!!
I love everything about this coloring book. I have 18 different coloring books for adults by different artists, plus 3 coloring books by Johanna Basford, and and additional two coloring books by Klara Markova which includes "Tenderful Enchantments" and this coloring book, "Fairy Miracles". Of all the whimsical, non-realistic coloring books, "Fairy Miracles" is my favorite coloring book. I flipped through the book to select my favorite page to color but I couldn't decided on a particular page because I love them all...so I decided to start on the first page and color them all. My 2.5 year old grand-daughter also loves the book; even though she doesn't color my book, she loves to sit on my lap and we flips through the pages as we make up stories of what the fairy is doing in each page.

Such a fun relaxing book to color in!
Love the art work! Simple yet interest to color, I believe that it is a book that would hold the interest of a younger person also, I plan on giving this one to my 7 year old niece who loves art and coloring. She is more advanced than more 7year olds. But it’s such a fun book. I’m sure she will Enjoy all the creatures and fairies in this book!

Worth the $$$
I kicked around buying this book only for the price, wish I could give half of the uneventful coloring books I bought back for couple more of these! I am NOT in anyway an artist however I follow several artist and purchase many original artist coloring books. But this is my first by this artist and I was IMPRESSED! Love everything about her style, the detail, whimsical novelties that I DO NOT see repeated in various discounted department stores, worth every penny!

Beautiful book
I love Klara's books and this one is just as amazing as the others. The book has a hard cover with cream color pages. The images are beautiful, lots of mushrooms, fairies, candy, cookies and flowers. There are several small images repeated throughout separating full page illustrations but they are so adorable you'll want to color them again and again. Extremely happy with this edition and would recommend to all.

Good quality paper. Beautiful pictures.
Fabulous book. Beautifully bound. Images are just gorgeous, good amount of detail without having teensy tiny bits that can be awkward to colour. The paper is good for pencils, markers will more than likely bleed through (I haven't tried as I don't want to wreck the pages), can use watercolours as long as you don't heavily wet the paper. Highly recommend this book and Klara's others 😊👍

You get what you pay for...quality
What is not to like about this book. I am an avid colourist and have been after this for ages but is a high end price for a colouring book but I have to say well worth it. Plenty of characterfull pictures to colour on excellent quality paper and all encased in a hard cover. The artist is excellent, I would definately recommend and I love the little bookmark gift you get inside.

Single sided
Another gorgeous book by Klara Markova, an absolute delight. Single sided and fantastic quality of paper with reasonable tooth. The images are stunning, I have all her books and have never been disappointed.
