This was such a fun puzzle, with absolutely beautiful artwork by Steve Read. It’s been on my shelf for quite a long time, I’m not even sure how long. While looking for a puzzle with less than 1000 pieces I spotted this one way in the back; thank goodness!
Quality-wise, this puzzle was only good/fair. The fit was pretty loose, which is always a bit disappointing. But, as a whole it was still entertaining to put together, that is more than half the battle! The artwork by Steve Read is stunning, and I’m kicking myself for not getting a good closeup picture of the fairies’ faces – they are absolutely gorgeous!
There are 22 fairies in total for you to find, some of them took me quite a while to locate. If you’re not paying attention this fairy hidden in the toadstool is easy to pass over. Of course you’re seeing it right away – I’m showing you right where it is! 😉
This fairy wasn’t too difficult to find, but it did take me a little longer than I’d like to admit. My glasses needed to be cleaned. I’m not old. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
I got a really great glow in the dark picture with this one, which surprised me. This puzzle has been on the shelf for at least 2 years, possibly more. I was pretty sure that the chemical that makes it glow would have petered out, but this puzzle produced an awesome picture.
I don’t usually get such good glow images, so this one really pleased me. I love a good glow in the dark picture!
Such a pretty puzzle. I would love to live there – I’m sure the fairies would magically make Covid disappear! The glow is very cool!

I enjoyed this one, although it doesn’t seem like his usual subject matter. You could tell by the fairies faces that it was Steve Read though, those really look like his artwork. Gorgeous!

Great glow-in-the-dark pic! I think the chemical is “reloaded” when exposed to light, it stores it, and then it slowly gives it off again.

I’ve done a lot of thrift store puzzles that were supposed to glow but didn’t. Maybe it was too long in the light or just too old. But this one was a happy surprise and I got a great picture.
