About this listen

The Fairy's Tale is the first novel in The Pathways Tree series.

With surprising plot twists and compelling characters, The Fairy’s Tale is a whirlwind adventure into the sinister world behind classic folk tales and myths.

Bea is a lowly cabbage fairy, but she dreams of being an official Fairy Godmother. So when she is finally given a chance to prove her worth, Bea is determined to make a success of it. Besides, how hard can a Happy Ever After story be? Every girl wants to be rescued by a handsome man, don’t they? Apparently not.

Bea's heroine doesn't want to be in her story, and her hero is much more interested in the ugly sister. The same ugly sister who is trying to overthrow the Kingdom. Suddenly, Bea must confront the fact that her characters are as real as she is - and just like her, they are determined to go their own way. The problem is, if Bea fails to finish the story, she faces a fate much worse than being put to sleep for a hundred years.

Very enjoyable, great narrator, good continuity. Am so looking foward to the second installment of this story!

Totally new plot

I enjoyed this immensely. It's got a moral running through it and was quite easy to drift off from the sometimes horrid reality of real life. It is also believable. One person momentary decision can, indeed, change lives.

My first audio book of many
