The Fairy Who Wouldn't Fly | Pixie O'Harris, Bronwyn Davies
5 posts | 1 read
As far as the Fairy Queen was concerned, the Fairy-who-wouldnt-fly was lazy and so she banished her to the Woodnt, the place where she had sent all the other creatures who wouldnt do as they should. There, the Fairy-who-wouldnt-fly met many friendsthe Kookaburra-who-wouldnt laugh, the Bee-who-wouldnt-live-in-a-hive, the Frog-who-wouldnt-hop. Find out how they worked together to return to Fairyland, and how they convinced the Fairy Queen that they had good ideas of their own about how to live their lives. The magic tale of The Fairy Who Wouldnt Fly, adapted by Bronwyn Davies for todays children, was originally written and illustrated by Pixie OHarris in 1945.

I skimmed this because I was mostly just here for the illustrations but it looks to be a fairly sweet, if rather moralistic tale about a Fairy who wouldn‘t fly learning to not only spread her wings (!!!) but find her purpose in helping others.

“That was beautiful,” said the Fairy. “And I quite agree with you. Why should we do what we don‘t want to?” The Fairy looked around her. “Who is that beautiful bird sitting on the branch over there?” she asked.

“That,” answered the Frog, “is the Kookaburra-who-wouldn‘t-laugh. And why should he laugh day if he doesn‘t feel like it?”

“Why indeed,” said the Fairy.

“Well why don‘t you fly?” the road grumbled back at her. “You have wings. Why don‘t you use them?”

Up went her nose into the air and down came her feet as she stamped on it harder than ever.
