| Publisher Description: Wee Charles is a boy with a giant imagination and an original, curious mind. In the first of many adventures, he sets off to solve one of great questions of life: where do Strawberries come from? And why do they taste so good..? It is a quest that leads him to the Strawberry Fairy King, the source of so many answers - and not just about the humble fruit. But the Fairy King has never met a boy like Wee Charles and so together they set off on an even greater adventure. A magical tale of wishes, nature and humanity (and the circus ), Wee Charles and the Strawberry Fairy King manages to impart a subtle ecological message that will stick with young and old, as it sweeps the reader up and around the globe on a weird and wonderful journey |
