Synopsis

Filled with inventiveness and beautiful art, this is an unmissable story from a fresh new talent.

Far away behind the hills a girl called Imelda lives beside a fairy forest. Every day she ventures into the forest to play with her fairy friends. But within the deepest, darkest depths of the trees lives the worst creature of all-the Goblin King! When he kidnaps the Fairy Queen, the fairies call upon Imelda to help. Soon she has a cunning plan to turn the Goblin King into a worm and rid the forest of him for good!

MEDIA REVIEWS

Enchantingly illustrated [...] delicious illustrations-jammed with pixies, fairies, toadstools, dragonflies and, at one point, pies and roasts and fruits and cakes
-Wall Street Journal

Blending a 1970s palette with an aesthetic that feels right at home with contemporary indie comics, Smith makes an assured debut as she brings a fresh look to an old-fashioned story of fairies, goblins, and comeuppances. [...] an all-around satisfying read.
-Publisher's Weekly

Smith's lively illustrations fill each page with scratchy, loose figures, beautifully colored in a rich, saturated palette, all in an old-fashioned aesthetic that perfectly complements the timeless tale.
-Booklist
