Eligible bachelors throughout the kingdom begin picking the fruit and heading for the castle. Gaborchik valiantly helps to waylay and weed out the most ill-mannered of the prospects, but she gives one guy-a poor, skinny fellow with a big heart-some extra help. One so naive and so simple certainly needs help getting past the king to win the princess's hand! The text is fun to read aloud, and Gaborchik's comical and slightly narcissistic personality brings a lot of punch to the story. ("A joke, darlings, a joke! Libby Gaborchik is just making a small joke. Laughing is good for your health. Trust me, I'm a fairy. I know these things.") The gouache and colored-pencil cartoon illustrations are also full of humor and capture the exaggerated energy of the story. Unfortunately, the original tale is not credited.

FALMERCHILLY EVENING: Two very different village events took place at the parish hall last week. The first was the presentation given by Brighton and Hove Albion to update villagers on the position regarding the stadium. As you can imagine there was a distinct chill in the air as Falmer residents listened to the football clubs plans and progress, the chill increased when we learned that a new plan had been put forward for a building to house city college students.
