Margaret Ryan, Illustrated by Teresa Murfin - All books by this author Airy Fairy Books - All books in this series Everybody knows that fairies are charming little creatures, dainty, pretty, and tidy. Airy Fairy is different. Young readers who make her acquaintance soon realize that she does have charm—but is she dainty? Is she tidy? Not Airy Fairy! Kids will laugh as they read these stories about the messiest fairy in town. Funny stories, vivid characters, and amusing line art fill the pages of the Airy Fairy series. Each story appears in chapters, just like an adult’s novel, but Airy Fairy’s humorous adventures are written on a level that will appeal to girls and boys. In this funny story all the fairies at the Academy for Good Fairies are using magic spells to make a birthday gift for Fairy Gropplethorpe. All except Airy Fairy, whose efforts are being badly muddled by the mischief of Scary Fairy. The result is fun and laughter. Here’s a wonderful series for children with a growing appetite for reading. Black-and-white illustrations on nearly every page. (Ages 7–10) From the reviews: “The narrative’s brevity and Murfin’s comically hyperbolic drawings make this a good choice for reluctant readers.” —Publisher’s Weekly, August 8, 2005 About The Author: Margaret Ryan is the author of many books for younger children. Before turning to writing she taught school in her native Scotland. Her writing career began when she won a competition organized by the Scottish Association of Writers.
