Jorie's Magic Stories

Welcome to a world of fairies and pixies and talking birds. This collection of fantasy tales combines magic and whimsy with flights of imagination to delight the very young.

The colourful stories are brought to life in the many charming illustrations by Michael Avery.

Ideal for bed-time storytelling, many of the traditional characters of fairy stories are found in these pages ? pixies and witches, magic trees, and animals who chat away together.

Children will feel a sense of wonderment when a doll?s house comes alive at night, and as a magic spell turns a little fairy invisible. They will marvel at the descriptions of mouthwatering sweets and the fairies? pretty dresses.

There are wonderful adventures, as a family of swallows make their long migration to Africa. And a little duck is swept downstream to places she has never been before ? only to make new friends along the way.

Then there are puzzles ? what is in the wizard?s mysterious packages? How did the magic tree suddenly appear in Jelliland one night? Children will laugh, too, at Witch Wacky?s big surprise and as the pixies try to play golf like the humans.

And, of course, all the stories have happy endings!
