My Fairyland

Step into a world where kindness rules, magic sparkles in every corner, and imagination knows no limits. My Fairyland by Ann Steedman is a captivating children’s book that invites readers of all ages to embark on a delightful journey through a whimsical realm brimming with laughter, wonder, and timeless charm. With its lyrical storytelling, vibrant characters, and enchanting illustrations, this book is a gentle escape that celebrates the joy of make-believe.

Spanning 15 charming chapters, My Fairyland introduces a lively cast of magical characters whose adventures weave together across the enchanting landscape of Fairyland. From elves and pixies to brownies and fairies, each chapter offers a standalone tale that contributes to a larger, heartwarming story. The book’s gentle, joyful spirit creates a world free of fear or aggression—a refreshing tonic for modern times where humor, heart, and creativity shine.

Readers will meet unforgettable characters like Trooly and Rooly, brother elves who live in a fantastic mushroom house; Busy-Body, a spirited pixie; and Blinks the Brownie with his lovely wife, Lucinda Tansy, the only fairy in Fairyland with a wand. The Fairy Queen’s touching recovery, aided by her devoted King and loyal subjects, adds emotional depth, while a tender romance between the young heroine, Fey the Grey Fairy, and the handsome Prince Dicken brings a sprinkle of love to the tale. Mischievous creatures like The Glugs and the mysterious Door Mat Demons, who scoot under doormats, add playful mischief, and even Puss in Boots makes a delightful cameo. The Fairy Forest, with its very special little trees, provides a magical backdrop that sparks the imagination.

Ann Steedman, a 90+ great-grandmother, infuses My Fairyland with warmth and wisdom, complemented by her enchanting color and black-and-white illustrations. The much-praised front cover sets the tone for a literary and visual feast that captivates readers, whether shared aloud at bedtime, in classrooms, or enjoyed during a quiet afternoon. Each page invites children to dream freely and adults to rediscover the nostalgic joy of childhood wonder.

Perfect for readers young and old, My Fairyland is a feel-good experience that celebrates kindness, creativity, and the magic of storytelling. It’s a book to treasure, share, and return to time and again, offering a whimsical escape into a world where imagination knows no bounds.

I am fully retired now from my life in the world of ballet both as a professional dancer and as a teacher and choreographer. In a way the stories are vehicles for illustration as I have painted and designed most of my life. This is my first children’s published book (and others are in the pipeline) although in the past I did write a story for my local BBC, which was read beautifully by an actress in 16 parts in the run up to Christmas a few years ago.

As a great grandmother and a bit over 90 myself, I have found the process of writing and illustrating this book most therapeutic, especially as my darling daughter died four years ago, aged 61, in the USA.  She was most artistic and would be delighted that my children’s stories and illustrations are meeting a hopefully appreciative audience.
