Old Redcap, an inventor elf, is proud of his best creation: a hot-air balloon with extra wings for steering. Suddenly Bluecap, a young elf, comes rushing through the woods. A fox has nibbled at the ropes holding the balloon down! Redcap and Bluecap both grab a rope, but can't stop the balloon rising into the sky -- with the two elves still attached.Eventually darkness falls, and so does the balloon. When they wake the next morning, they find themselves in the land of the fairies, stuck on rocks which turn out to be a sleeping dragon. Their adventure is only just beginning.This is an exciting new story from the author and illustrator of In the Land of Fairies, In the Land of Elves, and In the Land of Merfolk.

Originally published in German as Zwergenabenteuer, this picture-book from Daniela Drescher, a children's author and artist whose work often centres around diminutive magical beings, pairs an engaging adventure story with lovely illustrations. As always, Drescher's artwork is beautiful, with its use of vivid colours - the purplish-blue of the night-time sky, the bright reds and oranges of a fairy-party enjoying berries - and its depiction of appealingly fey creatures. It's unusual for her stories to feature a villain, so I particularly appreciated her depiction of Dulcamara, who arrives riding a jet-black crow. I also thought that the fold-out page, depicting the elves' flight, was a nice touch. Whether it's owing to the inclusion of a villain, or to the more adventurous storyline to be found here, I thought this was also one of Drescher's stronger works, textually, and think that young fairy-tale lovers will find it very entertaining. All in all, The Elves' Big Adventure is an appealing little volume! ( )
