Product Description

Product Description

Fairy Doll has always been at the top of the Christmas tree, brilliant in her white beaded dress and little silver shoes (which Elizabeth is sure were sewn by fairy mice).

Elizabeth is the smallest in the family. She is always getting into trouble and her brothers and sisters are forever leaving her out and ordering her around. She’s convinced she’s useless. Then Great-Grandma gives Fairy Doll to Elizabeth – and it isn't even Christmas! From then on Elizabeth keeps hearing a little ’Ting!’ which seems to tell her what to do. Suddenly everything starts going right instead of wrong. Could Fairy Doll be magical?

4.0 out of 5 stars Still a good storyteller, 23 Feb 2007
By Sarah D (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Fairy Doll (Hardcover)
I remember Rumer Godden's books from my childhood, although I hadn't read this one. The language and setting is naturally dated, but the theme - self confidence - is universal and my 6 year-old daughter and 4 year-old son really enjoyed it (they were impressed a six year old could go to the shops on her own!) and identified with Elizabeth learning to ride her bike. For a while 'Ting!' became a household phrase. This story has a Christmassy feel, although the action takes place throughout the year, and magic and reality are neatly blended. Rumer Godden has written some great books for kids and I am sorry that most of them seem to be currently out of print.
