This book is a tale about fairies and gnomes who gathered to create a New Year Fair. The fairies sat together to work out what they would sell on their stalls, and the gnomes worked out what they could build to sell at the fair. After invitations were sent to all the animals in their neighbourhood, they started their working bees to make goods. The fair was opened by Blondie, the head fairy, and Bob, the chief gnome. The fair went well, and money was raised for a worthwhile charity. The aftermath was cleaned up at the Village Green, and everyone went home exhausted.
