The Roadside Fairies

The roadside fairies have lived alongside us for many years, living by paths in secret dwellings across the lands before there were major roads and motor vehicles. Their main role was to heal creatures when they became ill or sustained injuries using their magic and potions. Over time, the roadside fairies had to readjust and move their dwellings due to major roads being built and vehicles becoming extremely fast and dangerous. The creatures of the forests needed the roadside fairies help more than ever as more and more where being injured. The roadside fairies, led by Great Elders, had learned to communicate with the creatures who held them in very high esteem. Young fairies called Limes start to rebel against the old ways, wanting to acquire the sacred ‘Book of the Elders’ that contained old dark magic that had not been used for centuries. This book was protected by a Great Elder called Beatri.

The Rock People

“Look What I’ve found!” called my grandson, who was gazing into a puddle on the Derbyshire Moors.
“Is it a Little Rock Person?” I asked…and that is where my story begins.

Rock People are very hard to find because they are camouflaged, so they look just like ordinary rocks. But they are not ordinary rocks! They are all very different little people. They have retractable arms and legs, head pipes that act as snorkels, hooks and periscopes and their amazing superpowers are hidden behind secret trap doors in their stomachs. They are armour-plated, amphibious and GREAT fun!

They move by using their tiny legs which fold up inside their bodies when they need to roll about. They don’t talk, but they have a secret tapping language that only Rock People can hear (except for Nannie, who is deaf). Sometimes, they get stuck in people’s shoes, or picked up and put into someone’s pocket, or blown away by the wind or even ‘licked up’ onto the tongue of a creature. YUCK!

The Rock Family live in a cosy, secret home inside the trunk of an ancient oak tree. They have a workshop and they build wonderful things like rockets. As you can imagine, they are ALWAYS having adventures!
