The Fairies’ Farewell: He got up with the sun and clambered into his overalls. It was moving day and he had only a short time to say good-bye to his favourite spots in the woods. He leapt down the stairs and flew out the door, passed the garden gate and was out in the meadow when he spotted the first message: “Follow the path of bluebells we have laid... BB”, written in tiny script on a delicate bluebell. He tucked the flower in his pocket and carried on toward the woods - but more slowly now ... for there were notes and riddles to be found all around. On the flowers, mushrooms, acorns, and oak leaves were written messages from the fairies he had known all his life: Downey Greenbodkin, Dusty Lightfoot, Ambrosia Springbrook and even Mother Elderbark, - just to name a few!

When his pockets were full, he scrambled back to the garden shed and gently tucked the little treasures into his grandpa’s old Wellington boot. Just then, his grandma called him for breakfast, so he ran up the path and left the old Wellie on the porch while he went inside. When he came out again, he discovered that the fairies had used their green magic to turn the boot and its contents into glass so he could keep their messages to guide him and comfort him wherever he went in the world.
