Bibi and the Box of Fairy Tales

Who hasn't made a wish that has failed to come true? Most of us can name at least one! This is exactly how Bibi is feeling. None of Bibi's wishes have ever come true so it is quite a surprise when she meets her fairy Godmother, who presents her with a locked box and then whisks her away on amazing adventures.

In Bibi and the Box of Fairy Tales, Vivian French has successfully written an enchanting collection of seven original fairy tales to bewitch and enthral. This is beautifully complemented by gorgeous, full-colour, contemporary artwork by debut children's illustrator, Amy Grimes. Bibi doesn't believe in fairies. But when she meets her fairy godmother, the tiniest of hopes flickers in her mind. Seven quests to seven lands that will open a magic box and grant her a wish.... could it, just possibly, be true?  Whisked away with her trusty companion, Sylvestro the cat, Bibi quests with giants, dragons, princes and princesses, wizards, witches, water sprites and sea elves, unicorns, trolls and gnomes... Can Bibi earn the keys to open the box.... and unlock her belief in fairy magic?

This amazing collection of stories is guaranteed to capture the imagination of so many young readers. It is the perfect choice to read in your favourite reading space but be warned, you will not want to get interrupted! It is a must have for homes and school libraries and is sure to inspire the next generation of authors!
