Ever since I was a little girl I have been fascinated by fairies. One of my first books was a delightful picture book of fairies : I don't remember its title but I do remember it had wonderful pictures of fairies doing all sorts of things - I particularly remember one picture of fairies at play, with one sliding down a pea-pod as a chute! I've never been able to trace it (or another book about a 'little tiny man' who rejoiced in the name of Dinkle-Donkle-Doo, which I also loved - I can still quote chunks of the rhyming text! ) but I then moved on to the Flower Fairies books, which happily are still in print. My aunt bought me the complete Hans Andersen's fairy tales for my 6th birthday and I also read The Blue Fairy Book, The Red Fairy Book, The Green Fairy Book, The Yellow Fairy Book and the rest of the twelve-book series by Andrew Lang. (All are now available on-line and can be reached by clicking on their titles above.)

You could say I was well and truly hooked!

So, to celebrate this love of fairies, I have created my own White Rose Fairy* for you to enjoy, and hopefully you will learn a little about fairies too..
