The Story of Sunny the Flower Fairy
Cindy Beadman
Paperback
(Silverwood Books, Jan. 15, 2016)
Hush little girls and listen well, A wondrous secret I shall tell, Of how there lives in every flower, A fairy child with magic power, Just like us all through the day They sing, and dance, and laugh, and play, And when the night comes dark and cold They sleep and dream sweet dreams I am told. This magical book was created by Cindy Beadman as a young bride in 1969, whilst living in a pink thatched cottage with roses around the door in the Devon countryside. It was handwritten, beautifully illustrated and bound by her in anticipation of the birth of her first child, Hannah, and is delightfully evocative of that period.
