In was in the early 1900s, probably as a result of the Peter Pan story, that the pretty little friendly female magic became the common image of a fairy. It was about the same time that the Cottingley fairy photos hit the headlines and took the world by storm. This new image persisted for some time and when Disney released the animated film of Peter Pan in 1953, Tinkerbell cemented that image as the de-facto description of a fairy into the

worlds psyche.

The most frequent question I get asked is how did it all start: In 2010 I was mending a fence. I was screwing up some old wire to throw away when I had the thought that wire is quite strong but malleable and could possibly be used to sculpt with. Because I live in the middle of a wood, a fairy for the bottom of the garden seemed like a good subject to start with. The fairy on the left is my very first fairy made from galvanised fence wire.

By 2012 I was selling a few locally and for fun, we created a fairy trail in the woods for the village festival. We handed out trail maps so families could try and find them all. The fairy trail got noticed by Amanda Dawson from Trentham Gardens (a good friend today) and within a few days, we were recreating the trail in their gardens.

Andersen's fairy tales, consisting of 156 stories across nine volumes,[1] have been translated into more than 125 languages.[2] They have become embedded in Western collective consciousness, accessible to children as well as presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers.[3] His most famous fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Red Shoes", "The Princess and the Pea", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Little Match Girl", and "Thumbelina". His stories have inspired ballets, plays, and animated and live-action films.[4]

A very early fairy tale by Andersen, "The Tallow Candle" (Danish: Tllelyset), was discovered in a Danish archive in October 2012. The story, written in the 1820s, is about a candle that does not feel appreciated. It was written while Andersen was still in school and dedicated to one of his benefactors. The story remained in that family's possession until it was found among other family papers in a local archive.[13]

In 1829, Andersen enjoyed considerable success with the short story "A Journey on Foot from Holmen's Canal to the East Point of Amager". Its protagonist meets characters ranging from Saint Peter to a talking cat. Andersen followed this success with a theatrical piece, Love on St.Nicholas Church Tower, and a short volume of poems. He made little progress in writing and publishing immediately following these poems, but did receive a small travel grant from the king in 1833. This enabled him to set out on the first of many journeys throughout Europe. At Jura, near Le Locle, Switzerland, Andersen wrote the story "Agnete and the Merman". The same year he spent an evening in the Italian seaside village of Sestri Levante, which inspired the title of "The Bay of Fables".[14] He arrived in Rome in October 1834. Andersen's travels in Italy were reflected in his first novel, a fictionalized autobiography titled The Improvisatore (Improvisatoren), published in 1835 to instant acclaim.[15][16]

Fairy Tales Told for Children. First Collection. (Danish: Eventyr, fortalt for Brn. Frste Samling.) is a collection of nine fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen. The tales were published in a series of three installments by C. A. Reitzel in Copenhagen between May 1835 and April 1837, and were Andersen's first venture into the fairy tale genre.

Danish reviews of the first two booklets first appeared in 1836 and were not enthusiastic. The critics disliked the chatty, informal style and apparent immorality, since children's literature was meant to educate rather than to amuse. The critics discouraged Andersen from pursuing this type of style. Andersen believed that he was working against the critics' preconceived notions about fairy tales, and he temporarily returned to novel-writing, waiting a full year before publishing his third installment.[21]

In 1851, he published In Sweden, a volume of travel sketches. The publication received wide acclaim. A keen traveler, Andersen published several other long travelogues: Shadow Pictures of a Journey to the Harz, Swiss Saxony, etc. etc. in the Summer of 1831, A Poet's Bazaar, In Spain, and A Visit to Portugal in 1866. (The last one describes his visit with his Portuguese friends Jorge and Jos O'Neill, who he knew in the mid-1820s while he was living in Copenhagen.) In his travelogues, Andersen used contemporary conventions related to travel writing but developed the style to make it his own. Each of his travelogues combines documentary and descriptive accounts of his experiences, adding additional philosophical passages on topics such as authorship, immortality, and fiction in literary travel reports. Some of the travelogues, such as In Sweden, contain fairy tales.

In the 1840s, Andersen's attention returned to the theatre stage, but with little success. He had better luck with the publication of the Picture-Book without Pictures (1840). He started a second series of fairy tales in 1838 and a third series in 1845. At this point Andersen was celebrated throughout Europe, although his native Denmark still showed some resistance to his pretensions.

The Hereditary Grand Duke walked arm in arm with me across the courtyard of the castle to my room, kissed me lovingly, asked me always to love him though he was just an ordinary person, asked me to stay with him this winter ... Fell asleep with the melancholy, happy feeling that I was the guest of this strange prince at his castle and loved by him ... It is like a fairy tale.[31]

Daisy Meadows' fairy books, which are the Rainbow Magic book series, are a popular choice for young readers. These books follow the main characters of Kirsty Tate and Rachel Walker and detail the magical adventures the girls go on, as well as the fairy friends they meet. Each fairy has a special talent or magical object that allows them to do something unique, such as controlling the weather or even giving them the power to ensure that everyone has fun while playing with squishy toys.

Though some novels within the series share a specific theme or fairy grouping, all of the Rainbow Magic books share some common features. The main antagonist of each novel is Jack Frost, the king of the goblins, who is determined to interfere with the fairies' fun and steal their magical objects. The main characters, Kirsty and Rachel, usually help the titular fairy of each book reclaim their magical objects from Jack and his goblins.

Daisy Meadows' fairy books have been popular since their release in 2003 and are still popular even today. In 2010, books published under Daisy Meadows were the most borrowed children's books in libraries, having been checked out one million times that year. Targeted at young readers ages five and up, many parents claim these novels helped to get their children interested in reading.

While the series has been praised for helping children become readers, some critics have pointed out problems with the series. With over two hundred novels in the series, readers have plenty of fairy adventures to pick from, however, many critics have found that the similar elements repeated in each book can read as formulaic and uninspired. Additionally, the female characters tend to follow girly-girl tropes and there are not many male characters at all apart from Jack and his goblins, who are presented as troublemakers. Some of the newer books appear to address some of these issues, such as how Jae the Boyband Fairy, published in 2019, features the first male fairy character.

Daisy Meadows is not one person, but rather a collective pseudonym for the writers responsible for the Rainbow Magic books. The four writers who create Daisy Meadows' fairy books are Linda Chapman, Narinder Dhami, Sue Bentley, and Sue Mongredien. Though their names do not appear on the cover, the ''Special Thanks'' page at the beginning of each book usually indicates the name of the primary author. Daisy Meadows is best known for the Rainbow Magic children's book series, which can be classified as series fiction. These books begin by having editors create an outline of each story and then send them to ghost writers, who usually write under a collective pseudonym, to turn those outlines into a book. This type of fiction can be seen in Rainbow Magic, as well as in other popular series like Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys. Most Rainbow Magic books follow best friends Rachel Walker and Kirsty Tate as they help a fairy with a magical problem, usually defeating Jack Frost and his mischievous goblins in the process. This book series has become incredibly popular for young readers and has acquired both critics and supporters throughout its lifetime.

The Rainbow Magic series, targeted to an audience of 6- to 8-year-old girls, recounts the adventures of best friends Kirsty Tate and Rachel Walker as they meet numerous Rainbow Magic fairies, each with their own special talent. The series-within-a-series model is evident in Rainbow Magic, as there are usually 6-8 books detailing the adventures and work of a particular group of fairies (ex. The Fashion Fairies or The Party Fairies). Each book features one fairy from a subgroup of fairies, as in Cherry the Cake Fairy, who herself is a member of the Party Fairies.

In every book, Kirsty and Rachel must come to the assistance of the titular fairy as the magical being finds herself at odds with Jack Frost and his mischievous goblins who are always looking to disrupt the fairies' (and the girls') fun. The series often attempts to make connections with pop culture. The fairies' names are chosen carefully so they will match with popular female figures, such as Taylor the Talent Show Fairy, a nod to pop star Taylor Swift. 2351a5e196
