Gablia and the Turkish Fairy Chimneys

The story

Gablia talks so much she never stops to listen, not even when a mother unicorn tries to tell her the magic words that get you out of the hidden labyrinth.

Lost among the hedges, she mixes up the spell and floats far from Goop World, all the way to Turkey, where hot air balloons drift over rock towers shaped like honeycombs.

The real place: Cappadocia

Three things to tell your kid after the story.

1. 1The "fairy chimneys" are rock towers made from old volcanic ash. Wind and rain carved them over millions of years.
2. 2People carved homes, churches and even whole underground cities right into the soft rock.
3. 3On calm mornings, the sky over Cappadocia fills with hot air balloons at sunrise, just like in the story.
