Ampony Woodland Gardens Book Two: The Fairy Queen's Birthday Picnic

The Fairy Queen's Birthday Picnic A Magical Adventure in Ampony Woodland Gardens What happens when a fairy queen's birthday becomes the biggest surprise Ampony Woodland Gardens has ever seen? Deep in an unspoilt corner of Cornwall lies a magical woodland where fairies, elves, gnomes, goblins, Trolls, birds and woodland animals live happily together. At the heart of this enchanted place is Queen Alison, the kind and gentle Fairy Queen and Keeper of the Woodland Gardens. She believes that kindness, friendship and helping others are the most precious treasures of all. But Queen Alison has no idea that her friends are secretly planning something very special... A magnificent birthday picnic! David, the Grand Master of the Gnomes and Elves, brings everyone together to organise a celebration Queen Alison will never forget. Herbert Blank and the friendly Trolls build beautiful picnic tables, the Goblins prepare music, the elves decorate the woodland, and the animals gather delicious food. Then comes a very special visitor. Lady Sara, the Lady of the Wild Roses, arrives with a mysterious Golden Friendship Seed said to possess a very special kind of magic. But when the precious seed suddenly disappears, the birthday surprise is put in danger. Can Pip Rabbit and his friends discover what has happened? Will the Golden Friendship Seed be found in time? And what will happen when two curious crows become involved? Just when Queen Alison thinks she has discovered every surprise her friends have planned, a mysterious traveller arrives from far across the world. Carrying a weathered travelling staff and wearing a moss-green cloak decorated with feathers and tiny shells collected from his travels, he approaches the birthday celebration. Queen Alison doesn't recognise him. Then he smiles. And says two words that only one person has called her since she was young: "Happy Birthday, Allie." It is Terry, Queen Alison's long-time best friend, returning home after years of travelling around the world. What happens next is a magical celebration filled with friendship, laughter, wonder and a little bit of woodland magic. As the Golden Friendship Seed finally begins to grow, something extraordinary happens... A magnificent Birthday Tree rises from the earth, creating a beautiful symbol of friendship that will remain in Ampony Woodland Gardens for generations to come. A Story About the Magic of Friendship
