Fairy Shopping

Fairy Shopping by Sally Gardner. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781842550786.

A map will point out the fairy shops but you may have trouble locating some that are hidden away and others that only turn up on Tuesdays or when the moon is blue. So you are assigned a Personal Shopping Fairy who will take you round, introduce you to the shopkeepers and customers, and show you what the shops have to offer. Among the shops you can visit are: - a travel agent who offers trips to the end of the rainbow - a shoe shop where the Ugly Sisters are trying to squeeze into too-small shoes - a dress shop where Blossom will show you a fabulous range of fairy frocks - a sweet shop with chocolate handbags and everlasting lollipops - a post office for fairy stamps to make your letters fly away the enchanted teashop run by Little Red Hen - the market where you can buy fairy tales, a magic lamp, or a flying carpet. In pages crammed with desirable goods, you will meet wonderful quirky characters and eavesdrop on their shopping expeditions. With its witty text and enchantingly pretty artwork, this is a brilliant follow-up to THE FAIRY CATALOGUE.
