It is Midsummer's Eve. Blossom, the Royal Dressmaker, and her assistants, Nightwing, Fancy, Trip and Pod, are hard at work. The Fairy Queen must have her new dress by midnight in time for the Midsummer Ball, and there are still a thousand pearls to be sewn on to it!
To pass the time they take turns telling stories — stories no human child has ever heard before. For these are fairy tales as told by the fairies, and though some of them may seem just a little familiar, they have a most unusual viewpoint.
Now you can eavesdrop on the fairies as they chat to each other and tell their stories.

The audio of the million-selling book - Pete McCarthy's hilarious journey in search of his Irish roots.
McCarthy's tale of his hilarious trip around Ireland has gained thousands of fans all over the world.
Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere. To find out whether this is due to rose-coloured spectacles or to a deeper tie with the country of his ancestors, Pete sets off on a trip around Ireland and discovers that it has changed in surprising ways.
