Unfairies

About this book

Forget everything you thought you knew about fairies. Rather than the wish-granting, magical flying characters you might have heard about, fairies are in fact about as magical as slugs and are among the most treacherous, violent and backstabbing creatures you could ever chance to meet! 

In the fairy fortress of Oakhold, in the dangerous land known as The Garden, we meet the hero of our story, the most impressively annoying, inquisitive, inappropriate, and impatient fairy of them all, Pip. 

When the winter food stores in Oakhold turn mouldy, Pip is inadvertently caught up in a whirlwind of political intrigue before a fairy election. Along with his pet midge (called Midge), a rules-obsessed clerk, and a not-so-heroic hero, Pip stumbles into a variety of perilous but hilarious situations – all while chatting away with his trademark cheeriness and irreverence. 

Unfairies is a rollercoaster ride of high-energy hilarity and anarchic chaos. Pip is an irresistibly funny character who approaches every situation with playfulness and curiosity, confusing and irritating even the most villainous of villains (the dialogue between characters is genuinely hilarious!)

Author-illustrator Huw Aaron’s bold and vibrant illustrative style works perfectly in conjunction with the humour, and there are tons of details to look out for, maps to pore over, and action scenes to enjoy. 

A perfect choice for fans of Bunny vs Monkey and other high-energy graphic novels.
