Southern Africa has the richest and most diverse grouping of succulents in the world. Vetplant Fairies is a collection of verse for children about indigenous succulents and the imaginary beings who live among them, written by two of our finest poets, Ingrid de Kok and Antjie Krog. The book is beautifully illustrated in full colour by Fiona Moodie in the style of Fynbos Fairies, its hugely successful predecessor. The scientific name for each plant is included in this enchanting new classic.

Antjie Krog en Ingrid de Kok het die verse geskryf en Fiona Moodie het kunswerk in volkleur geskep. Soos in Fynbosfeetjies, kry die plantjies se wonderlike volksname lewe en word die wetenskaplike name ook aangedui.
