Down at the bottom of the garden, there is a pile of flowerpots. This is St Juniper's, the fairy school with a difference: it is famed for the naughtiness of its pupils. Meet the Naughty Fairies - their spells usually go wrong, but even when they go right it's only to get them out of trouble or get someone else into it ...
Lucy Mayflower was sadly not born at the bottom of the garden - she grew up in Northern Ireland, England, Gibraltar and America, though not all at the same time. She has been a history student, a tea lady, a press officer, a porcelain dealer, a TEFL teacher, an editor, a singer and the owner of a bright yellow VW van. In her family, she has trouble deciding who is more handsome: her husband or her two sons. She has a cat called Crumble and a pet spider the size of a marble who lives outside her study window. She believes there is magic in the smallest things, provided you look hard enough.
