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.
