Can Kittie Lacey save Christmas Day in this fabulously festive Fairytale Hairdresser story
Abie Longstaff (Author)
Abie Longstaff is the eldest of six children and grew up in
Australia, Hong Kong and France. She knows all about squabbling,
chaos and bossing younger sisters around. So she logically began
her career as a barrister. She started writing when her children
were born. Her favourite childhood books were Hating Alison Ashley,
A Little Princess, Maura's Angel and The Black Stallion and she
sneakily reads them again sometimes. Abie lives in Hove with her
family.
Lauren Beard (Illustrator)
Lauren Beard is an illustrator based in Manchester. As a young girl
she always loved drawing and reading, and would write and
illustrate short stories for her two younger brothers. She has been
fascinated by animals, fairy tales and folklore since her
childhood, when she would visit her Irish Grandma and was told to
"watch out for the fairies!" Her work is hand-drawn and coloured
both digitally and by hand, using all types of media to get
different textures. Lauren enjoys adding little details and humour
to her illustrations, appealing to children and adults alike.
Lauren lives with her cat, Sushi, who keeps her company when
drawing.
Abie Longstaff has just added The Fairytale Hairdresser and Father
Christmas to her spectacularly popular series about Kittie Lacey,
the fairytale heroine who uses her hairdressing skills to save the
day, and this time, to save Christmas!
*Sussex Life*
The text is easy to read and Lauren Beard’s illustrations are full
of details and humour, we spent lots of time spotting our favourite
fairytale and nursery rhyme characters. I love the picture where
the characters are opening their presents, there are some amusing
and inspirational ideas, particularly the presents that Snow White
and Goldilocks receive! My daughter likes exploring Father
Christmas’ house with its workshop and gift wrapping room and we
love the hairstyles that Kittie gives the elves and reindeer.
The Fairytale Hairdresser and Father Christmas is a feelgood
Christmas story which includes presents, stockings, trees, snow and
a lovely glittery final double spread which shows all the
characters iceskating. It would make a perfect Christmas present
for all fairytale fans.
*Storysnug*
A lovely book, and one that I know one little person in our family
is going to enjoy reading again, again and again!!!
*We Love Books*
No little princess or prince should be without these stories,
filled with fairytale fun and a surprise glitter spread.
