About this listen

Fairies steal a careless young man's diamond ring before he can propose; he must trick them into returning it before the engagement dinner that night. This short fantasy tale will appeal to fans of Neil Gaiman's Stardust and P.G. Wodehouse.

A short story about a hopeful young lad, a ring, fairies (pretty nasty wee things) and fiery, but amazingly polite ants.
The ending is ok, but predictable.

Perfect afternoon tea listen, very well narrated.
With only 7 minutes it's just a bit too short.
