That's how Thomas goes from being just an ordinary boy whom no one notices to being the most popular boy in the school. But it makes him sad that grown-ups can't see the wonderful things he can do. His flying gets him suspended from school, and that makes life at home much worse, because his dad gets so cross and it makes his mum miserable. But then the Fat Fairy turns up again, and with help from her and Thomas's new friend Mr Vinnie, a retired painter and decorator who has been flying since he was Thomas's age, everything changes.This is an enchanting story in which an unconfident child discovers a special gift that brings him joy and heartache.

    The story is told by Coriander, daughter of a silk merchant in 1650s London. Her idyllic childhood ends when her mother dies and her father goes away, leaving Coriander with her stepmother, a widow who is in cahoots with a fundamentalist Puritan preacher. She is shut away in a chest and left to die, but emerges into the fairy world from which her mother came, and where time has no meaning. When she returns, charged with a task that will transform her life, she is seventeen. This is a book filled with enchantments -- a pair of silver shoes, a fairy shadow, a prince transformed into a fox - that contrast with the heartbreaking loss and cruelty of Coriander's life in the real world. With its brilliantly realized setting of old London Bridge, and underpinned by the conflict between Royalists and Puritans, it is a terrific page turner, involving kidnapping, murder and romance, and an abundance of vivid characters.

    Jeg vendte mig og kiggede ind i soveværelset. Gulvet var blevet et hav, sengen var et skib, og jeg så det fra stor afstand. Langt borte kunne jeg høre deres stemmer kalde på mig. Det varede et minut, måske mindre. Måske var det noget jeg drømte. Måske ikke. Det var et billede, der skulle komme til at forfølgemig, og jeg har tit tænkt på, hvad der ville være sket, hvis jeg havde gjort, som jeg fik besked på og ladet sølvskoene være. En spændende og medrivende fortælling fra 1600-tallets London!
