Summary

The Fairy's Tale is the first novel in The Pathways Tree series.

With surprising plot twists and compelling characters, The Fairy’s Tale is a whirlwind adventure into the sinister world behind classic folk tales and myths.

Bea is a lowly cabbage fairy, but she dreams of being an official Fairy Godmother. So when she is finally given a chance to prove her worth, Bea is determined to make a success of it. Besides, how hard can a Happy Ever After story be? Every girl wants to be rescued by a handsome man, don’t they? Apparently not.

Bea's heroine doesn't want to be in her story, and her hero is much more interested in the ugly sister. The same ugly sister who is trying to overthrow the Kingdom. Suddenly, Bea must confront the fact that her characters are as real as she is - and just like her, they are determined to go their own way. The problem is, if Bea fails to finish the story, she faces a fate much worse than being put to sleep for a hundred years.

Nothing buit good to say about this one

This magical tale has been beautifully brought to life by a very good narration. It was a pleasure to listen to a favourite book read so well.

A fun twist on fairy tales

A fun, light hearted fairy tale romp with a novel twist. Very enjoyable and easy to listen to.

My first audio book of many

I enjoyed this immensely. It's got a moral running through it and was quite easy to drift off from the sometimes horrid reality of real life. It is also believable. One person momentary decision can, indeed, change lives.

Not at all what I expected

I love retelling of fairy tales, this one was very different but it was such fun picking up the hints and nods at the classic tales. Great fun!

three chapters and I’m out

You might enjoy this, I did not - narrator has an annoying girlie voice and the story was so full of things you had to know before it made sense, and then didn’t make sense, so I’m afraid I gave up. Maybe it gets a lot better later, but I’m k with not knowing!
