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 ?

Could it be one of the Purnell books illustrated by Willie Schermele?

Probably much older than you are thinking of but when I was young I had some of Lang's fairy books picked up second hand somewhere. They each had a different colour. There is a green fairy book (wish I'd kept them now I see how much they sell for second hand!).

All these suggestions look like beautiful children's books but I haven't found it yet. I will keep you all updated if I do find my old copy. ( my husbands even agreed to go in the loft at my dads house so hopefully it's still there !!)
