This is entry one in Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book. We grow up with Lady Cottington throughout her fairy adventures. Each one is more intriguing than the next. And by the end of the book you have fully fallen in love not only with her but with every fairy she's ever written about, ever played with, and ever so happily caught!

July 18th 1902: The fairies didn't come yesterday. But they came today, and I caught two! One of them is called Mogcracker and the other Skamperdans. They are both mischief makers and like getting girls in trouble. Mogcracker will take the lessons that you finished last night and got all the sums right, and make them all wrong by the morning. She gets your essays and puts all the spelling out, when you'd spelt it perfectly correctly. Skamperdans never wears her drawers. And that's why she's always stealing yours. And stockings too. She creeps around your room just out of sight, and snatches them the moment you have put them down and turned your back.

5th Dec 1906: Caught a beautiful specimen today. A large painted fairy that seemed to fly by so slowly it was almost asking to be pressed. I am glad I did not show my Pressed Fairy Book to Nicholas. I do not understand him at the moment. He seems very moody. Perhaps I will show it to him one day.

This book is a spectacular read for just about any age!!! The fairys are beautiful and Lady Cottington herself is a cheerful, witty, and elegant lady. Blessings to her and her beauties!!
