Join Tinker Bell's sisters on a magical adventure. Inspired by Tinker Bell from the book Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie. Before Tinker Bell flew to Never Land and met Peter Pan, she lived on Sheepskerry Island with her fairy sisters - Clara, Lily, Rosie, Silver, and Squeak, the baby. The young fairies go to fairy school and love tea parties, dressing up, and exciting adventures. Lily's dressing-up dreams have come true - she's going to Queen Titania's annual fancy-dress competition. She's always dreamed of meeting the fashionable town fairies on the mainland, and now's her chance! But not everywhere is like Sheepskerry Island, and some fairies are less friendly than others. Without her Fairy Bell sisters to help her, Lily's adventure spells trouble. How can she turn a dressing-up disaster into a prize-winning success? Young listeners will love the enchanting stories in this charming new series. Contact me for any questions: [email protected]
