Description
It's Christmas, and two tree decorations - cardboard prince Rudolph and clothes peg fairy Rosalind - are discarded for being too shabby. Christmas Eve magic brings the toys in the cupboard to life, and when they discover their two friends are not on the tree, they search for them. However, while they are away, a Fouly - the exact opposite of a Christmas Fairy - sneaks in and hides. Unaware of the evil creature's presence, the toys return with Rudolph and Rosalind, who have also been transformed, and they all help prepare a festive feast. During this the Fouly steals Rosalind's wand and uses it to kidnap Father Christmas...
Rudolph and Rosalind go to rescue him, but they must first seek out Santa?Lucia for the one thing Foulies hate the most: the Lucia Light. Their mission takes them to the Fouly Castle, but they are captured and confronted by Malicia the Fouly Queen. Using the Light, they defeat Malicia, free Father Christmas and return home. But the Fouly follows, seeking revenge, and - backed by a fierce Holly Army - the battle for Christmas begins... Will the Fouly be defeated??Will Rudolph and Rosalind be thrown away, or will the gratitude of Father Christmas help them regain their places at the top of the tree?
The Prince, The Fairy and The Fouly is a charming adventure story which combines all the elements of a traditional Christmas tale with a variety of characters and situations that highlight the battle between good and evil. Resplendent with beautiful black and white illustrations, it's the perfect bedtime story for children aged 7+ in the run-up to Christmas, and an ideal stocking filler. Its large format and presentation make the book ideal for emergent readers.
