I remember a book from when I was younger late 1990s possibly early 2000s. It was about little elf or fairy type creatures. It was a large hard back book mainly green in colour with lots of little short stories about these creatures in. It quite possibly was a annual but I'm not sure. The illustrations were sort of water colour and basic. I think a lot of the fairy types creatures had w names such as Wanda. It's really bugging me ! Does anyone have any ideas ?

No, characters were all linked and from the same place and it just had little short stories about them. Sometimes there were several little individual stories on each page with illustrations too. I'm so annoyed that I can't remember it, I loved it as a child !!

Enid Blyton wrote quite a lot of stories about fairies and the like. Books for younger children with lots of pictures. Things like 'bedtime stories' 'goodnight stories' etc.

Not Thumbelina with other stories?

Lots of the stories were geared towards friendship and the importance of telling the truth and being kind

Nope not that one either. I do really think it was an annual now. Some of the little stories were only a paragraph long and there were several on each page. The little "creatures" looked human just tiny. They lived in forest/woodland I think.

Thank you for the reply but no not that one. They may well have been called elves or something similar not faeries I'm just not sure. It's so frustrating because I can picture them in my head !
