Fairies at Number 55: Beyond the Bridleway

Enchanting and charming are everyday words for us today, as are magic and magical. We talk of magic tricks, of magicians and magical moments, magical mystery tours, moods or music. But there is a magic, an old magic which exists in an ancient realm far, far older than us and all of our modern magic. It is as old as life itself and interweaves amongst us in our sleeping and half-sleep states. The old magic kingdom is home to dragons, to spells and fables, mermaids, fairies and to unicorns. The Fairies from Number 55 are excited to be on their first holiday away, beyond the bridleway. Staying with their affectionate aunt, Sunbeam and uncle Mistral, they are delighted to be joining their cousins Pippin and Clover, who are so very like them. Pippin and Clover have wings of light bright greenish and bronze hues and resemble, in the right shade of light, a pair of damsel flies. Before very long, the fairy family are once again cheerfully weaving in and out of the lives of yet more woodland creatures and tiny "giants", making gifts, rescuing fawns and even restoring Woody the Wonder Dog's bark!
