Description
A magical wildflower adventure inspired by one of England's rarest flowers.
Dax the fairy is busy preparing for Countess Cloveliss' Grand Celebration, and he has a wonderful idea. He wants to create a bright new waistcoat decorated with the beautiful petals of the rare Deptford Pink.
There is just one problem—Deptford Pinks are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
Joined by his loyal friend, Harriet Bettina the Third, a rather important bee with a very impressive name, Dax sets off across meadows and countryside paths in search of the tiny pink flowers. Along the way, they discover other beautiful plants and realise that some of nature's rarest treasures should be admired and protected rather than picked.
When they finally find the precious Deptford Pink growing in the meadow, Dax realises that preserving this wildflower is far more important than decorating a waistcoat. Instead, he finds inspiration in the cheerful and abundant Red Campion, proving that creativity and kindness can blossom together.
Filled with gentle rhyming verse, charming fairy characters, and beautiful wildflower themes, The Deptford Pink introduces children to one of England's rarest native flowers while encouraging a love of nature, conservation, and the outdoors.
