Items related to Fairy Nuff : A Tale of Bluebell Wood
Fairy Nuff makes a big mistake the night he is left alone in charge of the cottage. He lights a candle using, amongst many other explosive elements, a stick of dynamite, and everything goes horribly wrong. But this is only small fry in terms of his problems for he is also going to meet the horrible Widow Buhiss and her side-kick ground keeper, Orc, who keeps man-eating plants. Poor old fairy Nuff - can he escape the awful fate they have in mind for him? A wonderfully comic and very quirky book full of adventure, misadventure and general mayhem.

About the Author:

Ross has won a Scottish Arts Council Award for Supposing and is an original and quirky voice in the world of children's books.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 2-4-When young Fairy Nuff's family abandons him, he burns down the cottage on his very first night alone. The flaming roof and one live grenade explode into the sky, fly through the air, and land on the doghouse of the pit bull belonging to Widow Buhiss, a rich, vile old lady. Much havoc ensues as the waif rescues the Queen of England from the widow's woodshed; in the end, he is not only a knight, but also wealthy. This British import is an off-the-wall farce with silliness and puns galore. Kids will relish the broad humor and witty language, but the characters will really win them over. Inept Fairy Nuff, ogrelike groundskeeper Orc, tantrum-prone Widow Buhiss, the jowly Queen of England, and the commanding Queen of the Ants are all perfectly captured by the expressive and funny black-and-white illustrations. A good choice for fans of Roddy Doyle's The Giggler Treatment (2000) and Dav Pilkey's "Captain Underpants" series (both Scholastic).
