On warm summer nights, the Canterbury Bell Fairy sets his flowers swaying. Ding-dong-ding, the bells ring out over the gardens and the countryside, calling the fairies to sing. Fairies enjoy human music. You can lure fairies into revealing themselves by sitting very, very still and softly singing the sweetest ballad you know. Although terribly shy, fairies are extremely curious and flock to learn new songs.

Song of the Fairy:
Bells that ring from ancient towers-
Canterbury Bells
Give their name to summer flowers
Canterbury Bells!
Do the flower-fairies, playing,
Know what those great bells are saying?
Fairy, in your purple hat,
Little fairy, tell us that!

“Naught I know of bells in towers
Canterbury Bells!
Mine are pink or purple flowers
Canterbury Bells!
When I set them all a-swaying,
Something, too, my bells are saying,
Can’t you hear themding-dong-ding
Calling fairy-folk to sing?”

Disclaimers:
1. Fairy garden miniatures come in many different sizes and do not have a specific scale. Please consider the size when selecting items from different ranges to ensure they will complement each other and your miniature display. Having said that, we have seen first hand that children are not at all concerned with scale and will create magical scenes with items of all sizes. However, older enthusiasts may like to be more mindful of this.
2. Fairy ornaments and miniature accessories are not toys. It is the responsibility of parents/guardians/carers to consider the age and stage of development of the child and gauge the suitability of our items, as some are hazardous to young children due to the pointed ends, sharp edges or very small size (choking hazard). If not handled with care or dropped on a hard surface, they could break. We recommend that you keep any items of concern out of reach of young children and supervise play.
3. Many products on our website are hand painted and/or hand made. Images have been provided for illustrative purposes only and we do no guarantee that any image will reproduce in true colour nor that any given image will reflect or portray the full design or options relating to that product.
