Piejam Goes To The Fairy Pools

The story

Piejam is a dashing Goop with a swagger stick who loves pies and jam a little too much. After gobbling a strawberry pie, he wishes and wishes for five more, until a fairy with strawberry wings appears.

She whisks him to the Scottish countryside, where lambs wear red sweaters and a castle holds the first clue. With Bowie, a brave baby otter, Piejam sets off for the Fairy Pools, but a sly black bird has other plans.

The real place: The Fairy Pools, Isle of Skye

Three things to tell your kid after the story.

1. 1The Fairy Pools are a chain of crystal clear blue-green pools and waterfalls on Scotland's Isle of Skye.
2. 2The water flows down from the mountains and stays icy cold, even in summer.
3. 3Scotland's national animal is the unicorn.
