The Fairy Caravan

£7.99

William and Alexander’s Travelling Circus is no ordinary circus; for Alexander is a highland terrier and William is Pony Billy who draws the caravan. The circus performs only for the animals of the farms and fields they pass, for magic fernseed in their hair shields them from the eyes of humans.
