Judy the Bad Fairy
Dom Mansell
Judy is a bone-idle drop-out of a fairy who prefers vegetating in a hammock to meddling in the real world. The Fairy Queen's attempts to start her on a career are greeted with reluctance, and then a crafty enthusiasm which unleashes all manner of strife and carnage, guaranteeing her an early retirement. The storyline of this book is slight, but entertaining. The vigorous illustrations provide splendid panoramas of the anarchy created by a very resourceful heroine.
