      Deep in the depths of the forest, under rustling leaves, live the fairies. You probably think that fairies are good, kind and sweet. Well, a lot of them are. These helpful fairies take care of the forest and they're happy to do it. But I'm sorry to tell you that some of the fairies, particularly the littlest ones, are GRUMPY.I mean proper grumpy. I mean foot-stompy, frowny, bottom-lip-sticking-outy kind of grumpy.I mean ‘it’s just one of those days’ grumpy.But these grumpy fairies better watch out. There's a goblin about, and grumpy fairies happen to be a goblin's favourite food…This wonderful, funny debut will bring a smile to the smallest (and grumpiest) of children.

    • This clever and funny inversion on a classic fairytale from award-winning author Bethan Stevens tells the laugh-out-loud story of a damsel who does not need saving! Once upon a time, hidden deep in a valley in a magical land far away, there was a very tall tower. And trapped at the very top of that very tall tower there was a damsel . . . In distress! The only problem is, the damsel is not in distress. She keeps telling the narrator that she's perfectly fine. The "terrifying beasts" in the moat are a family of ducklings. The "prickly brambles" are her rose garden. And the "wicked old witch" is actually her grandma! But the narrator just won't listen. When a scary, fire-breathing dragon comes to visit, it's up to the damsel to take charge of her story and save the day for everyone. Characterful illustrations transport readers to the magical world of the damsel's kingdom, and easy to read text is perfect for young readers. This funny follow-up to the prize-winning Grumpy Fairies is perfect for any young damsel—or prince charming—who wants to be the hero of their own story.
