In this lairy tale of adventures, a young fairy soon discovers an inner strength she never knew she had.Behind an old shed lives a group of tiny fairies in a place called Fickle Town. The usual fairies exist but one fairy stands out from the rest; and she is not your typical fairy. Mary the Hairy Fairy was born with an unimaginable amount of hair that gets in the way of Mary’s attempts to fit in on the streets of Fickle Town. What appears at first to be a hindrance, later proves to be her savior as an amusing series of catastrophes finally lead Mary to her destiny.Author and illustrator Daniel Corcoran’s latest creation will generate a stack of laughs. The pages are bursting with colourful and detailed illustrations that will entertain kids over and over again. ‘I wanted this story to touch on how much kids focus on body image – especially with girls,’ says Corcoran. ‘I didn’t want Mary to be a typical character fairy. So I sketched her to be quite unique and stand out from the crowd. She tries to be like everyone else but in the end she finds her own way in the world rather than conforming.’
