Four Ways to Irritate a Fairy

4.2/5 ( ratings)

"Let's have a secret christening."
"How?" asked the King.
The Queen was gazing in the direction of the baby with what is called a "faraway look" in her eyes.
"Wait a minute," she said slowly. "I see it all-yes-we'll have the party in the cellars-you know they're splendid."
...Everything seemed to be going better than well. But of course you know it wasn't.

E. Nesbit's wit shines through in these tales of what happens when you don't invite the evil fairy to the christening. Starting with the traditional forgotten fairy, Kristen Bancroft has selected four stories that build up to ever more ridiculous solutions to the problem faced by royal parents: how to avoid irritating a fairy.

Fun for all lovers of fairy tales, but especially for fans of J.K. Rowling and C.S. Lewis who loved Nesbit's stories.

Illustrated by H.R. Millar, W.H. Margetson, and Spencer Pryse with silhouettes by Arthur Rackham. Cover art is by Edmund Dulac.

Language: English

Pages: 82

Format: Kindle Edition
