Sally Gardner grew up and still lives in London. Being dyslexic, she did not learn to read or write until she was fourteen and had been thrown out of several schools, labeled unteachable, and sent to a school for maladjusted children. Despite this, she gained a degree with highest honors at a leading London art college, followed by a scholarship to a theater school, and then went on to become a very successful costume designer, working on some notable productions.
After the births of twin daughters and a son, she started first to illustrate and then to write picture books and chapter books, usually with fairytale- or otherwise magical subject matter. She has been called 'an idiosyncratic genius' by London’s Sunday Times.
I could very easily and indeed did spend hours and hours reading this tiny book as a child, creating my own fairytales and imagining the personalities of all the characters. Even now this book is such a lovely one to look back on. the drawings are wonderful and even as an adult, it's such a nice distraction to use this book as a prompt tool for creating your own fantasy world to forget the shit in your own life for a while.
A really cute book where the reader can create their ideal fairy tale from picking the fairy, to the wands and wings to deciding on the family and the love story and the wedding. Perfect for those who love fairies but I think this would work better as an app or a computer game so kids can see what they end up with easier (I can't believe I'm saying that!)
