Narinder Dhami was born in Wolverhampton in 1958 and now lives in Shropshire. The books feature different groups of fairies including the Jewel fairies, Weather fairies, Pet fairies, Petal fairies and Sporty fairies. It was a bit of a letdown that the story is not able to standalone.Daisy Meadows is a pseudonym for the four writers of the internationally best-selling Rainbow Magic series - Narinder Dhami, Sue Bentley, Linda Chapman and Sue Mongredien. The only problem is that you need all seven books in the series to fully enjoy the story. The adventure continues in book two Amber The Orange Fairy.Ī cute story that any little girl can enjoy.

Parents and readers, aged 7-10, will appreciate this long-running series of adventures, although they should temper it with more substantive reading. There are some illustrations, all in black line drawings, with a helpful map at the beginning.

The story is rather unremarkable, it contains the requisite peril and mostly sets up the rest of the series, but it's a good length (65 pages), and the mythology is attractive to young girls interested in fairies. This is the first in the adventures of Kirsty and Rachel, friends and helpers of the fairies. Together they stumble upon the pot at the end of the rainbow, which holds something other than gold, it holds a fairy! The red rainbow fairy, named Ruby, takes them to the Fairyland Palace, where they meet the fairy King and Queen, and are charged with finding the other six fairies who have been cursed by the evil Jack Frost. Rachel is travelling with her family to Rainspell Island, when she meets Kirsty, a girl her own age who believes in magic.
