More often than not her father, a hard working doctor, calls her “Little Miss Muffet.” One day she is out in the garden playing make-believe. She aimlessly picked a dandelion and started to daydream about the times when she and her mother used to play “tell the time” when a voice beside her said “If you would be so good to tell me the right time.” Startled she dropped her “clock” and the little man in a vivid green suit picked it up and blew on it. “Five ‘o Clock” he said. Then out of his waistcoat pocket he took a key, which he fitted into the key-hole in the wall. A little stone door swung outwards in the wall, and the mannikin hesitated upon the threshold. “All things considered,” he remarked slowly, “and especially the green ribbons, I think I may do myself the pleasure of asking you to step in.” ……and so begins the adventures of Philomene in Fairyland. A place where she meets Sweet William, Master Mustardseed, Mermaids and Mermen, the Twin-Sisters and Queen Mab the cat. But what are all her adventures and experiences for?
