Not everyone loves fairies - here is a tongue-in cheek, witty look at the day in the life of fairy folk from someone who's not quite so keen on Tinkerbell and Co. 'Morning in the fairy world. Can you hear them all faffing around? God they get on my nerves.The usual drama over the hair - tears and everything. This one thinks the world needs another picture of a fairy' So much for fairy dust, wishes, wands and magic wings. Here we reveal Fairies as they really are.The fairy market is indisputably a money maker and in amongst Secret Fairy's diaries and handbooks, Felicity Wishes, Flower Fairies and even our own Fairy Catalogue and Fairy Shopping this amusing take on fairies should bring a smile to the lips of even the most jaded bookseller.
'If the saccharine sweet world of fairy wishes has you reaching for a sick bag, have a look at James and Alice Smith's wry I'm SO Over Fairies. Presented in an oh so pretty fairy format, the misanthropic text of the fairy-hating narrator provides a wonderfully comic contrast. Perfect gift material for any fairyed-out parent.'
