    About this ebook

    Dad thinks Mrs Arkwright is a batty old thing. Hannah isn't so sure, but there's definitely something about her. Alice knows Mrs Arkwright's secret, but then Alice is her secret: Alice is the fairy that lives in the Crab Apple tree in her garden. Lovable Mrs Arkwright and young Hannah gradually become friends. Unbeknown to Hannah she is tested for fairy friendship and passes with flying colours. Before she can be properly introduced to Alice a burglary occurs and a very surprised Hannah must be called on for help.

      Chapter One

      Hannah’s dad thought Mrs Arkwright was ‘a batty old thing’. Hannah wasn’t so sure. Mum thought that Mrs Arkwright was ‘harmless, just a bit lonely’, but Hannah didn’t think she was lonely. Hannah didn’t know what to think.

      Mrs Arkwright lived on her own in a cottage behind Hannah’s parents’ house. She seemed quite old, but sprightly and was often to be seen out and about around the village, sometimes on a bicycle, sometimes on foot, but always wearing a hat and the hat always had a brim: A pink felt hat with a mauve woollen rose in the brim when it was cold. A pink and blue striped straw hat when the sun shone and a plastic hat with a red and yellow rose pattern and the brim turned back when it rained. She grew a lot of fruit and vegetables in her garden and also collected berries and mushrooms from the village common and the woods beyond. She often gave Hannah’s mum things that she had made or grown, explaining that she had more than enough for herself, but would never accept any money, ‘Just give me your old jam jars, my dear, that’s payment enough!’

      Mrs Arkwright’s garden backed on to Hannah’s garden and there was an old stone wall between the two. Hannah wasn’t tall enough to see over the wall yet, but Dad was, just, and he said he’d heard Mrs Arkwright talking to herself down there at the bottom of her garden. Dad had been building a rockery at the time. Mum said she was probably just talking to next door’s cat, but Dad had winked at Hannah, waggled his eyebrows and mouthed ‘batty old thing’, which made Hannah giggle. Still, Hannah was curious about Mrs Arkwright and, as the half-term school holidays had just started, she decided she could keep watch and try and work out just what it was about Mrs Arkwright that made her curious.

      Hannah tried keeping watch from her bedroom window. Looking out across her own garden she could see the back of Mrs Arkwright’s house between the branches of the crab apple tree that grew in Mrs Arkwright’s garden, but she couldn’t see the bottom of Mrs Arkwright’s garden for the old stone wall. In any case, Mum said Hannah wasn’t to shut herself away in her bedroom all morning and shooed her out into the garden to get some fresh air and clean out the guinea
