Long ago, under cover of darkness, fairies with rainbow wings would creep into people’s houses. Why? To dance on the tables and eat cake crumbs! But the fairies never ever had a taste of the cakes made by the bakerwoman living at the edge of the forest. Her cakes were so delicious that nothing was ever left, not even the crumbs! This made the king of the fairies very angry. How angry? So angry that he hatched a plan to kidnap the bakerwoman! Will the bakerwoman outwit the fairy king or will she be trapped forever?
It’s a Scottish folk tale about fairies! Need I say more? Of course, this is a picture book for young children, but I still loved it. The illustrations are perfect, the story is well-written, and the plot is funny enough that young children will enjoy it. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves folk tales or a good children’s book.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher through Net Galley.
