Summary

'Friendly Fairies' was written and illustrated by Johnny Gruelle (1880 - 1930). Gruelle was an American artist and political cartoonist, as well as a children's book illustrator and author. He is best known for introducing the world to 'Raggedy Ann’ and ‘Raggedy Andy’.
 
This particular book does not feature Raggedy Ann, instead presents fifteen unique fairy stories, including:
'The Three Little Gnomes',
'Mr and Mrs Thumbkins',
'The Wishbone',
'Tim Tim TamyTam,'
'A Change of Coats' plus many more.

The 55+ colour illustrations by Gruelle will ensure that young minds will be captivated, if not by the stories, then by the illustrations.
Together, the stories provide entertainment as well as moral lessons for young audiences; be kind to those you meet, always be generous, and help those who need it.

Hard copy first editions are sought by collectors; this resurrected ebook showcases Gruelle's original text, which is further enhanced by his wonderful colour drawings, which in themselves have been made more vibrant, in order that the two may be fully appreciated by young and old alike.

    In this epistolary novel, three Aussie private school girls enter a pen pal program that leads to friendship, love, mischief, mystery, and revenge. 
     
    The Ashbury-Brookfield pen pal program is designed to bring together the two rival schools in a spirit of harmony and “the Joy of the Envelope.” But when Cassie, Lydia, and Emily send their first letters to Matthew, Charlie, and Sebastian, things don’t go quite as planned. What starts out as a simple letter exchange soon leads to secret missions, false alarms, lock picking, mistaken identities, and an all-out war between the schools—not to mention some really excellent kissing.

    In this stand-alone follow-up to So B. It (now a major motion picture), a girl who the world might see as weird finds her footing and stands her ground. 
     
    All her life, Aurora has heard stories about Heidi and all the good luck she brought Aurora’s family. Aurora, though, doesn’t feel very lucky. The kids at school think she’s weird. And she’s starting to think her mom thinks she’s weird, too. Especially compared to Heidi. 
     
    On the eve of a visit from Heidi, more bad luck hits Aurora’s family. There’s a fire in their attic, destroying a good part of their house. And, even worse, Aurora’s beloved dog goes missing. Aurora and her family have always believed in soof—Heidi’s mom’s word for love. But sometimes even when soof is right there in front of you, you still need to find it—and that’s exactly what Aurora is going to do. 
     
    “A moving exploration of family, love, and forgiveness.” —The Horn Book 
     
    “A sweet story that shows all you need is soof.” —Kirkus Reviews
