Jane Ray: The Dollhouse Fairy

The Dollhouse Fairy


Description

What if a little girl looked in her dollhouse and found an injured -- and very untidy -- fairy? A sweet story from celebrated illustrator Jane Ray. When Rosy discovers a real fairy living in her beloved dollhouse -- the one her dad made just for her -- she can't believe her eyes. But Thistle is no ordinary fairy. Despite a hurt wing, she's turned all the tiny furnishings topsy-turvy, and she's starving for raspberries and chips and other treats to eat. Rosy loves nurturing the mischievous fairy back to health, and can't wait to introduce her to her dad when he returns from his hospital stay. With a true flair for visual detail, Jane Ray offers a tale of family and friendship that touches on illness with a lighthearted tone -- and celebrates the healing power of the imagination.
